  Update: Removing the Unique Tracking Number from Subject Line of Microsoft CRM E-Mail
Time: 00:29 EST/05:29 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

This update addresses the E-mail tracking feature of the Microsoft Business Solutions CRM v1.0 product. This feature provides the ability to track e-mail correspondence by including a unique tracking number that appears on the subject line of messages composed from within the Microsoft CRM system. When this update is applied to a Microsoft CRM implementation, the administrator will have the ability to turn on or off the e-mail tracking feature. If the e-mail tracking is turned off, the Microsoft CRM system will no longer generate the unique tracking number. In addition, this results in the loss of the Microsoft CRM system's ability to automatically track incoming e-mail.

If you're so smart, then how do you track emails like that?

- Put tracking ID in the headers? Nope. Some email clients or spam filters will block or remove those.

- Put tracking ID in the body? Nope. Spam filters block that as much as the subject line.

- Put tracking ID in the reply-to address after a "." as per the SMTP standard? Nope. Very few SMTP servers and even fewer mail clients support that.

I use a CRM app I built years ago on my Commodore VIC-20. No email, no problems!

#2, How about embedding a web bug in an HTML mail........uses next to no bandwidth.

Works for most users with net access...... :-) Or within a company the bug could be placed on an intranet server.
