The article at the end of this message reaffirmed my interest in modifying emails that have tracking methods in them. Currently all of the ones I have seen use <img src> tags.
I tried looking at squirrelmail's source to get inspiration on how to determine an unsafe image but it was about as clear as mud. NetMsg's system looks like this: In the text/html parts, I've seen this: <img src=3D"http://img.msgtag.com/oaaEAlzg/degscgspahbfBevhyFyvmmq.gif";> Anyone have some ideas on doing this (ok BESIDES David who is just going to say disable HTML email ;-) ) BTW, on this note, NetMsg puts this text into the text/plain part. I imagine some email clients actually must do something with it: <img src=3D"http://img.msgtag.com/oaaEAlzg/degscgspahbfBevhyFyvmmq.gif";> Regards, KAM Service to test frontiers of e-mail privacy USA Today reports that a new Internet service will be launched next week to allow users to secretly track the e-mail they send. The service, DidTheyReadIt.com, will allow subscribers to see whether someone opens their e-mail, how long the recipient keeps it open and even where geographically the recipient is reading it. The recipient will not be made aware that the mail is being tracked. Internet experts say the service invades people's privacy and is unlikely to be well received. "It will freak people out," says Internet expert Esther Dyson. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
