>- see footer for list info -< but surely this is inaccurate anyway as you're relying on a user to do something you tell them to - how many users do you know that read things and follow instructions? ----- Original Message ----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) To: Coldfusion Development Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 2:47 PM Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] Email tracking
>- see footer for list info -< Hey, well what we do as noted is that we have the usual embedded image in the file which registers unique and non-unique users (i.e. a user opening a mail more than once). We only track forwarded when users click on the forward to friend link in an email which redirects us back to our servers and tracks the from and to.... Any other metric would be inaccurate unless it uses some convoluted read into the email contents and header info. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russ Michaels (Snake) Sent: 21 October 2004 13:18 To: 'Coldfusion Development' Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] Email tracking >- see footer for list info -< Better suggestion neil ? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) > Sent: 21 October 2004 12:40 > To: Coldfusion Development > Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] Email tracking > > >- see footer for list info -< > Erm, not really no.
