One wonders why a multi-billion dollar company would want to know
that I read that mail.(Remote content blocked BTW)

because they are a multi-billion dollar company? Of course the
honest way would by prompting for a "read" receipt, but that would
be regarded as a nuisance by many users.<br>
<br>
I think the tracking aspect of verification aspects of that <i>might
</i>be considered useful by companies like paypal etc. were it not
so unreliable...<br>
