Comments on: “Did They Read It” Service Tells Senders Whether, When, and WHERE You Read Their Email http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/new-service-tells-senders-whether-when-and-where-you-read-their-email/ Internet Safety, Windows Updates, Internet News, and More Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:19:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Meghna http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/new-service-tells-senders-whether-when-and-where-you-read-their-email/#comment-1028924 Meghna Fri, 29 May 2009 15:48:10 +0000 /?p=63#comment-1028924 As a freelance writer, there have been times when clients stop communication after the work has been delivered to them, or say that they never got it to get out of paying for it. I think using this email in such cases is a valid on my own part to protect my rights. Ofcourse I intend to include a warning in the email.

When you're trying to reach "government official" who is, btw, paid to read your complaints, and you do not receive any kind of response, you begin to wonder. Now, i have a proof that a certain official is "deleting my email without reading it" Spying? No, not really. Just making lazy people do what they're paid for.

I mean, c'mon why would a kidnapper be communicating by email anyway? And wouldn't they use Hotmail like any self-respecting criminal? Yeah right, and we’re all going to believe that!

Both allow you to leave HTML rendering turned on whilst not loading remote images (i.e. web bugs). There's a whole host of other reasons to switch too: its junk mail filtering is ace and of course it's not vulnerable to all of the e-mail-bourne malware and virii, unlike a certain Microsoft mail client we could name...

OR is this somehow attaching itself to the e-mail before and/or after it is in the particular machine.

Also, it doesn't run Active-X scripts, and it's an all-round good email client - very flexible. Try using an email client called “the Bat”; it renders the text, but not the remote images.
