Well u make the best of what u got.
Really no one is going to click a forward link in an email, really I mean
no-one, they will click forward in their email client.
If you rely on such a method you get next to NO DATA, at least using the
method of multiple reads, you will have some data even if it is not 100%
correct, which is better than nothing.
