Re: Sender used a recall attachment, can track each opening

tracking and recall only work once - after the message is marked read they
should not get a receipt or recall notice if using native outlook settings.
(if you make a copy before marking read, they can get more) If they are
using a 3rd party site, then all bets are off.

I'm not a computer guru, please bear w/me.

Here's the story:


Email was received in inbox. I did not open it. I forwarded email to
several of our household inboxes. Later in the day I opened an email
from the same address. It was a recall of the previous email. Not your

typical recall (I'd never received one before but thru tons of testing
I know what an outlook recall should do). This one is an attachment
file on a blank email. When I opened the attachment the recall window
popped up. I hit the 'x'. It did recall the original unopened email.
However, I still hold the recall in my inbox (along with the saved
versions of the original email).


I was way too curious (& P.Oed) about how on earth the person did it to

delete the original. Now after a couple of weeks, I found out there's
tracking on the attachment. Whenever you open it the sender is sent an

email. These sent emails do not show up in my Outlook Sent Items
folder.


Sender has a temper, an itchy finger, and is a geek. I've tried to
duplicate this email, but can't. I've even purchased 3 month
subscription to email tracking to see if that made duplication
possible. It did not. (It did introduce me to the world of tracking
email...scary what people can do).


My spouse is a guru w/out time to deal w/this, so I was sent here. I am

concerned. I would like to inform others in our family of this
person's capabilities, and am determined to find out how this was
accomplished.


Questions:
How do you send a recall as an attachment?
How can tracking be possible on just the attachment?
Why doesn't my sent folder show the tracked emails back to this sender?



I've looked all of this stuff up on the net & am stuck. No info on
attachment sent recalls. No info on tracking just attachments. No
real info on why the sent items don't show up (person does not have
CRM-that's the only thing that came up at Microsoft).


I appreciate your knowledge & assistance!
