Emails & embedded HTML code

    Hello everyone.

    Recently, I have been exploring the possibility of embedding code in an email that automates a certain (hidden) reply email from the recipient. To be more specific, I am thinking HTML code that would send an automated reply email with an automated attachment of all the recipient's contacts in their address book. I've heard whispers of this being possible with certain email management clients (i.e. MS Outlook), but have never seen it done. Any ideas?

    If it can be done it will finally be time to walk away from outlook and just use the gmail web interface.

    It used to be viruses that did that. It certainly won't be "html" which is static. Can't imagine javascript doing it either.

    It's impossible. HTML in an email can't execture Javascript.
