This one’s only a free trail. There is still one called “Have They Read It Yet” with its great stamps which is largely free. Isn’t there one called ‘Mesdaq”(?)which is also similarly free? I didn’t like ‘em hogging resources cause they both want to be loaded at startup…..and creates some changes which is a little of a hassle in uninstalling.:wink:

btw: Off topic, can you tell me whether it’s normal to find an autoplay midi tune sucking(bleeding)memory in a Blog? I seem to find that it does in varying degree.:roll:

I am aware of DidTheyReadIt, but do you feel comfortable opening mails that friends sent to you when they know that you track them? Do you feel comfortable to actually provide the company with the email address of your friends? I mean, okay, they probably have a privacy statement on their webpage but, you know what will happen 5 years down the road?

And they produce other software tools that indicates more tracking on your computer etc. Doesn’t make me very comfortable. Spammers work similarly, and have already something in their mail (an html code), anyway, to track their mail so that they know when the mail sent out ahs been opend.

The web is insecure enough. Privacy hardly exists. So let’s have some trust and let the “bad guys” use it.

but well, in the end, it is up to you!
