Yeah I figured with all the email clients security settings saying "click
here to download images in the message" type stuff there is no guarantee the
image would be pulled. But for now some information on the ones who do is
better than none at all.
So my next question is how do I go about this? How do I turn the fetching of
an image into a function thru the url? something like this in the HTML email
<img alt="" src="www.site.com/images/fetch/$message_id ">
and then that url would hit message controller
fetch($message_id ){
do the record keeping based on the message id
return '/images/the_image.jpg';
}
Am I far off here?
Thanks everyone,
K

Subject: Re: Email Question
In an HTML layout, you can reference an image calling to a unique image URL.
When that gets hit in your logs, you know they opened it. Unfortunately,
they might not display images, because this is a classic way to confirm that
an email is active employed by spambots, but it's the best *automatic*
method I know of.
I'm eager to hear what everyone else has!

I am sending out emails and I want to know that the person has opened it.
How does one go about this? I have a link in the email they can click to
view in browser and I can tell when that happens but as for straight email
viewing I'm stumped.
Not much detail in the question but I figure its rather straight to the
point J
Thanks everyone as I wait in anticipation for any help.
