RE: [sniffer] Did They Rea d It---headers

[Woody Fussell]

The best way to get accurate headers is to go to their site "www . did they
read it . com"(without spaces of course) and sign up. There is a free
account that allows 10 emails per month. Send your self an email, that way
you can also see the type of data that is reported back to the sender(In my
opinion it's more than the sender needs to know).

In addition to the headers there is a html beacon in the body that
identifies the reader back to "did they read it"  This is not visible to the
reader unless you examine the source text to see the html code.

Sample email body from Didthey... The only visible text to the recipient is
my message "this is the did they read it test"

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1458" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this is the did they read it
test</FONT></DIV><br><img
src="http://didtheyreadit.com/5d5a7dc45488430ad17e64241928d958worker.jpg";

</BODY></HTML>

Woody,

Could you possibly forward me a copy of the headers of a message using this
service, so that I can design my own iMail filter? Thanks!
