Hi All,

We are sending an html email from asp page.In the email we
appended an image tag and the "src" attribute points an asp page in our
server.Here when ever user read the email this image tag will fire our
asp page.It is working fine if we open the mail in web browsers.It is
failing in outlook express.We modified the code a bit and replaced the
<img> tag with <iframe> tag.It is woring fine in outlook express now.
but it is not failing in web browsers.Do we have any other alternative
method to call an asp page from the email.

Thanks in advance

Why are you even trying to do this these days? Phishing is so common now
that many people set their browsers not to display HTML or rich content by
default, and it's difficult to imagine anyone stupid enough to actually
click a hyperlink embedded in an email, even if the email looks perfectly
genuine...

Try just using a regular <A href ... hyperlink instead of an image. Most
modern email software blocks images.

assuming the email app is not blocking src references, be sure its the full
path http://mysite/page.aspx.
