I doubt it. They would have to enlist the services of every developer of mail clients so they would all implement some secret protocol (probably making them all insanely rich in the process, or why else would they comply?) -- not really a likely scenario. It is much more likely that they are just embedding some hidden image in the mail that resides on their server so they can extract access data from their log files. That, however, would be easy enough to prevent, simply by telling PM not to load images from external servers by default (which is what I do anyway). - Michael Michael J.
