Sherlock Holmes couldn't do better detective work than this! Want to be
alerted the moment an email you've sent is opened? With this interesting
new software from MSGTAG.com, you'll get a report showing when your message was sent, when
it was viewed, and the elapsed time in between. In addition there are no
annoying pop-up windows asking the recipient to send a notification back to
you - it all happens automatically! Interestingly, this is a simple program
to use and you don't have to change anything about the way you write or
send your email. In fact you'll hardly even know it's there.
About a year ago we reviewed a similar program called ReadNotify.com that offers a slightly different approach and provides even more information. For example, it shows how long your message was open and read; a map showing where the recipient is located; how many times it was re-opened and re-read; if it was forwarded and where it was forwarded to, and sometimes who subsequently reads it, how many times and for how long!
Both of these Sherlock Holmes e-mail services offer a free trial version
and, of course, an upgrade version for a mere pittance!
