I heard the tail end of the guy from didtheyreadit.com blathering about it on today on NPR, curious to see what they were actually doing I signed up for it. It's another web-bug scheme with the minorly clever addition of slowly dripping out the single pixle gif and not closing the http connection so they can measure "how long" the message was "open". There's a bug however where it can't measure more than a 2 minute open time or send to multiple recipients with the service. If you have external image loading turned off all of this tracking won't work of course. --Brent _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug
