I would like to include a link in my text based email newsletter that sends a signal to my page counter, but doesn't open a web page or the mailto:.

Object is to let the reader inform me if they got the email - but not distract them from the reading.

Thanks

IF and only if you use html you can create an image tab (1x1 pixel) that sends a signal to a server side page - e.g. the image url is set to a page on your site, triggering the read receipt.
