does anyone know how to tag email so one knows when the recipient has opened it ?
I have a purpose for such things... if someone can help me out
Nothing nefarious mind you....

1: Return reciept. This requires the person on the other end to authorize you to know they read it. All normal mail apps allow this. Don't know whether webmail stuff will respond to a return reciept though. Biggest problem is when you get such a message, you often don't want to return reciept until after you see who it is and have read the message - and then you can't send the return reciept becuase it only allows it when you first get the message.
2. Spammer method is to embed a 1x1 pixel remote blank image into the html. This then calls the image at http://somthing-or-other/blank.gif?123456789 where the number is a user identifier number. When you load the e-mail, the server that contains the image logs which user read the e-mail. This is why many mail programs such as Mozilla and Thunderbird allow the blocking of remote images in e-mails.
Hope this helps.

Yup and when the server containing the image registers you opened the email (the embedded image was loaded) it automatically adds your email address to a spamlist of valid addresses, which then can be sold for money.
Never open any strange emails.
