So if I am not mistaken for the remote email service to know what the recipient has done with the email, there must be some prog resident on the recipient's pc?? Not sure if some tool like Spybot ought to detect the presence of this software??

However, it tells me that it was deleted without being read if the receiver has read it in the preview box. Tony -----Original Message----- From: Chris Spray [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 27 August 2004 09:27 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: www.didtheyreadit.com I've just been reading in a DMA newsletter about an email service that purports to be able to report to you whether an email you sent was read, destroyed, not opened, and if opened for how long. Also reports whether it was forwarded to someone else and what they did with it - all without the recipient knowing about it. The French have said it is illegal in France - breaches their privacy law. Anyone know any more about this? There was an article about it in The Daily Telegraph in May so perhaps I'm just a bit behind the times on this one!
