Actually , you can be tracked by html. It goes something like this : Your email address and a unique user id are put into a database when the mail is sent; mail which contains a unique tagged object using the userid (<userid>.jpg, for example). A request for this object puts an entry in their access and/or error logs. Then one cross-references the log and the database. The tagged object may or may not exist on their server. All that is needed is the request and you are in the crosshairs.
