Let's not forget mozilla either. Actually, I was thinking about
changing from mozilla because of the speed issues with the mail client.
Now that I've turned off external server images, the mail client is
downright snappy.

You can do all of that with Outlook 2000 or 2002, for that matter, with a
little bit of work. If you don't want to view

It's actually pretty simple, although I found it confusing too. And, while
Yahoo calls them "web beacons", whi
I have used them before, to track the users, you pretty much refrence
the image, and when reading your logfile you can single that one out and
count your hits. I have also done things such as refrence an image that
did not exist, with a 1x1 h and w attrib, and added the page dynamically
to the end,
Easy.
...tracking query here...
You include the image, and some server-side code to process it. Done it a
few times...
