Hi Sudip, It probably uses the same "technology" as spammers. You send an HTML mail with a 1 bit picture located on your own server ( In the BAt you can recognize this because TB! shows a square with a red cross in HTML mode). The moment some "blond"user opens his email in Outlook the picture is requested from the website. This confirms that the email is opened for reading (which creates the confirmation) and thereby that the email address is active (very handy if your are a spammer). An other reason to like TB! ;-) -- Best regards, Gerard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is my position, and as always, I refuse to be compromised on matters of principle. - Noah S.
