The other thing you can do is reference the image as:

<img
src=""> [EMAIL PROTECTED]">

Then your dspImage.cfm page could do the following:

Insert into a database the emailAddress that is passed to the script and
then return the imageSRC using CFCONTENT.  That's what I've done in the
past.  It gives you an exact return on even WHO looked at the
newsletter, not just how many.  It's quite nice.

That's actually quite brilliant and simple.


I would setup a website that is just for this so there are no other
visits logged. Use ODBC Logging and then run an SELECT DISTINCT IP
against it.


But if the recipient is using preview it will be in accurate.

Send an HTML message and have at least one of the images pull from your
webserver, then check your web logs.

That's the first thing that comes to my mind ;)
