Hi,
Just an idea off the top of my head - you could probably set the image to
call a CF template on your server, and use that to perform any appropriate
processing (i.e. logging the fact that THAT PARTICULAR email has been read.
Something like -
<cfmail to="#to_address#" .......>
<!--- Your message --->
<img
src="http://your.domain.com/log_receipt.cfm?client_email=#to_address#"
width="1" height="1" border=0>
</cfmail>
and in log_receipt.cfm -
<!--- Log the receipt --->
<!--- ... --->
<!--- Then send the image --->
<cfcontent type="image/gif" file="transparent.gif" deletefile="No">
As I said, this is just off the top of my head and I haven't tried it, but
I've done a very similar thing with dynamic stylesheets ( <link
rel="stylesheet" href="http://domain.com/dynamic_stylesheet.cfm">, and a
<cfcontent type="text/css"> in the stylesheet template ) so this could
work.....

Put a transparent gif in the email, and then track it with your web server
log
file.
