I highly doubt it. How would they track a plain text email? There's nothing in email, apart from the servers that are handling the email, to facilitate this. Now if someone specifically designed an email client to talk to the 'didtheyreadit.com' servers and inform them directly of when they read email and everyone used it to read email. It works just like the US post office... You send mail, but unless the recipient does something or you paid the post office extra to obtain proof of delivery then you'll never know if it got there. ---- Original message ----

Gmail seems to be blocking an image in the email. I wonder if this works with plain text emails. Fabrizio p.s. i read this list on the weekends.

If your test will work, it is interesting to know how many read this list during the weekends too. Maybe you can let us know.
