How many of your users are likely to have an HTML email client? How many
of them are running an HTML email client which blocks inline images
unless they specifically ask for them? I know a lot of users who dislike
getting HTML email and especially ad banners. Whatever the email client,
javascript will not work on a high percentage, nor will IFRAMEs which
are often filtered as viruses.

The mail server has a log, and there are logs in $prefix/logs.
