Hey,

Well you will never be able to tell if it was forwarded by their actual
Email Client but if you had a link in the email saying forward to friend
which opens up a page with a field for forwarding on your server you will be
able to tell.

Either way all of these stats are a nightmare when it comes to accuracy.

>- see footer for list info -<
Hi all

As you all  know, it is possible to track certain actions in a email when
opened in a client by having an image tag thats actually a call to a cf
script which can record stuff like ip address, time opened.

Does anyone know of a way to be able to track if the email was forwarded to
someone else.

The only way i can think of would be to capture the ip of where it was
opened and assume that if the ip was different then it was forwarded to
someone else. I know that this could also mean that they have a dynamic ip.

Thoughts?
