Seems it javascript will not help me to do this. Do you have any idea?
My idea would be not to do that, or to encourage readers to click to your site because you have something worthwhile on your site to click on.
But ignoring the importance of actually building content worth going to, just to trick users to give you what you want (all while giving them nothing in return), the current common practice in email is to include an image served from your server. That image is accessed by the user, which your server logs - their IP, possibly their browser string, the time, etc.
Notably, many mail programs (gmail included) also turn off images.
You are trying to do something that most sane people recognize as giving no value to a user, and giving great value to you - without telling the user. Since the programs are there to help the users - not you - most programs make it hard to do that.
