What html code would I need to insert in an email to track if the
recipient opened it? I was thinking something that could access a cgi
script which I could write. Or perhaps some trick with the <img src=?>
tag?
Thx!

Why, are you afraid there might be some bogus addresses in that spam list
you bought?
What makes you think HTML has anything to do with email, anyway???

No, i want to track to see if my clients read my emails. If not, then
Ill give them a call. The code would have to be in html, as I don't
know of any way I could insert php/perl code in an email to execute
when someone reads an email?

Ah, good. Those details help. I sent some HTML email just last night
and know a lot about it. Here is the code you want:
<p>Hi! Please reply to this email to let me know you got it. If I
don't hear from you I'll give you a call. <strong>Thanks!</strong></p>

Set your email program to request a receipt when they read it. Some
people may refuse them, but it's likely the most reliable method of
achieving what you want.

Luckily, no. But there's no way you can guarantee HTML will display when
they read the email either. What if they read their email in plain text?
Besides, HTML can't *do* anything. It is a markup language. It simply
describes the structure of the content.
