RE: Tracking email campaigns - any better ideas?

Mike, I am still reading your post, but just a quick reply. As far as embedded images goes, that will be a big no no and the reason being is that it would be considered wrong by the more popular spam and virus filters and could cause big problems for you. I am not sure as an email that there woul

Re: Tracking email campaigns - any better ideas?

Sorry Mike. No offense was meant. :) and you are right. I didn't know Australia has tougher laws then here in the US. So if that is the case and it is Opt-in, I think your solution is pretty much the best case. Tracking plain text like that is pretty tough (and Les was correct as well. It will

Re: Tracking email campaigns - any better ideas?

Now now now. That's not nice. You're making unreasonable assumptions. You might not know that the Australian Broadcasting Act makes it illegal in Australia to send unsolicited commercial emails except under very specific circumstances - a move which I welcomed and applauded. And i applauded a

Re: Tracking email campaigns - any better ideas?

Presumably these are opt-in messages, since it's illegal to send spam in Australia and the fines are really impressive. Of course if Mike's customer is Romanian or something the point is moot ;-) On 5/28/07, Phillip M. Vector <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah. Same here. :) > > You do realize.. It

Yeah. Same here. :) You do realize.. It's not exactly polite to do what you are planning. Right? I know that you need to pay the bills and all that, but consider the idea that what you are planning to do will be blocked by several spam filters as well as those who know what they are doing. Is

Received and opened would be the extent of "success monitoring" here and no, there really isn't any way to track text emails unless you request read receipts and they send it. You could just make the text version a link to an online copy of the html version and use your url vars there? ..:.:.:.:.:

Tracking email campaigns - any better ideas?

I'm being asked to consult on writing an email marketing application, and I'm thinking about how to track responses. At the moment I'm planning on being able to send out text and html emails as two-part emails, and tracking readership of the emails by using a link wiht suitable URL variables to a

Fusebox4 and Layouts

Hi. I was wondering if you can either direct me to someplace or explain something about FB4 layouts. In the header file, I have a table where I have 2 columns. In the left side, I cfincluded a menu. On the right, I'd like to change the page shown based on what the menu selection was. (I.e. Blog

Re: Getting Key In A Structure

With an ID as the key you can easily pull things out of the struct. It's quite different from an array because the keys can be any number you need, not just sequential as they are in an array. On 5/26/07, James Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was wondering why anyone would have a structure

RE: Desperate help with a query

Instead of selecting every column, you need to select only the columns you need. Your SELECT DISTINCT * is bringing back every combination of every column's value in the five tables. In other words, it's bringing back every record not filtered by your WHERE clause. Try fixing that problem, first
