How to See if Someone Is Tracking Emails They Send You - Lifehacker
A few years ago a friend that works in PR told me about Streak, an email tracking service that lets you know when someone has opened a message you send them, sometimes with details about where that opening happened and even what device they were on when they were reading it.
He was using it to see when journalists received messages he sent them. While I wasn’t particularly thrilled that he and his coworkers were spying on whether or not I was actually reading what they sent me, I liked the idea of flipping the tables and using it myself.
I never pay attention to where someone opens an email, but I have to admit it’s nice to know that they’ve read it and are choosing to not respond rather than wondering if it’s been sent into a black hole/to an inactive email account.
