i am developing a system where members are sent emails containing an image that links them to an external website - would it be possible to contain an extra peice of code within this so that i know which members have actually clicked on the - ie when an image is clicked the user is taken to the specified page AND somehow a message is passed to my site identifing the user and which image the user clicked??

thanks in advance for your help

Link the image to an intermediate page, that processes their username, picture name, etc, then redirects to correct website seemlessly.

so the hyperlink contains the user deatails and say an id for the image so that when the image is clicked the intermediate page records that users details and the image they clicked on and then looks up the url (in a db for example) for that particulart image and then redirects the user to the appropriate page
