A few moments ago we mentioned Novell's newsletter. What's inside? Remotely-loadable images with distinct URLs that not only track the opening of the message, but also tracks clicks on links contained therein. This enables Novell to assign reps and establish pairings of information for E-mail addresses (i.e. people) and their IP addresses. Novell can then track these people on Novell's Web site, not just their behaviour inside the mail client (repeated message viewing and URL clicking).

We have performed some tests and this seems to pass muster. Is this true? Not a nice move from Novell.

Did they learn these tricks from some new partners? Have they no respect for their customers' privacy? ⬆
