What comesfirst to my mind is: pro linking to Website: - small mail con - user needs to be online to see it - this kind of linking could be disabled (you could create a link www.site.com?image?mail=32&user=USERID and you know when and wether the user read the mail...) and some users could dislike this Best: Don't use images in a mail ;-) (just my opinion...) johannes
