I wouldn't recommend it.  These are spammer-originated, abusive,
invasive methods that are never used by responsible professionals.
I think a substantial argument can be made that they're a form
of malicious spyware, and there's no doubt that they attack both
the privacy and security of recipients.  So my recommendation is
to never, ever use them.
