You should use multipart email as mentioned, IMS is good for that, this
will work on MOST email clients whether plaintext or html. 

However, if you want to actually detect who can read HTML emails, you
need to include an image in the HTML part of the email, that not only
points to script on your server, but also includes the recipient's email
address. That way, if when they read the email they view the HTML
version you will recieve a 'hit' on your site, and you can record this
in the knowledge that they are HTML-capable.

Yes, our tag does do that.  However, it only sends mail through an iMS
server and not the CFMail spool.
