determine when email was opened

[sramey00]

Is there a way to determine when an email was opened by a user on the computer?

I have only found the modified, created, sent, received date/time fields. these aren't what i need.

ex. If i received an email on 1/1/2001, and i looked at it on 1/2/2001, where could i find that date (1/2/2001)?

Any ideas?
(code is always welcome) and links help docs too!!

Thanks very much!

What mail program are you using?

If you're using Outlook you could set up read receipts. Is that what you're after, or am I missing something?

read receipts won't help.

basically if someone sat down at my computer and started going through my email, i want to know when the last time those emails were opened.

it's similar to the last accessed file attribute. where that attribute shows a date and time when the file was last opened.


thanks!

Ah, I see what you're getting at now. Sorry; it's been a long day!

Don't know if I can help with this one, I'm afraid. I'll have a look around and if I find anything I'll let you know because you've got me intrigued now

You never said what mail program you're using, btw.
