Hello there, I want to redirect a person who has opened my email message to specific URL. for example when he clicks on my email subject in yahoo mail box, upon he viewed my message, has been redirected to www.google.com. I try some ways out, Meta refresh, Java script redirection. but it doesn't work!!! has any guy had solution for that? Thanks in advance...:
Yep, there's no 'definite' way to do it. Most webmail services strip Javascript like that and a lot of email clients don't even bother rendering the HTML in the first place. The reason for this is exactly because of what you want to do.
Your only option is to put a link in the email and convince the reader to click it. What is your email? I been sure to block it!
oh guys, don't thing bad... some one hacked my friend's yahoo id password and now I am looking for a way to retrieve it !
Everyone who responded is correct. There's, more or less, no way to force an opened email to force a user to go to a site. Too many people have taken advantage of "convenience" like that and caused major havoc (like "Melissa" and "I love you" - both very destructive and mostly caused by inadequate checks on email security by software manufacturers. My best advice is this. If you know someone jacked your friend's account and he is receiving email back at that same account (or you know what kind of sites he's hitting to give your buddy a hard time), just send your friend emails that would interest him and lure him into clicking a link or sending a reply. Also, if he's been brazen enough to actually log into the yahoo account from outside of yahoo mail, you can figure out a whole lot about who it is from the full headers of the emails he sent out. Try setting options like copying all outbound emails into the sent folder and stuff like that. Unfortunately, the only way to do what you want would be unethical, but you can help this guy nail himself if you just lay a few traps and follow his tracks. Good luck to you , Mike
Major Webmail Providers such as Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail etc. Don't allow JS in Email Messages, thus, they block 'em... What you can do is add a graphical content using HTML and make an attractive Button related to the site you want to be visited, then Give facts so that the user will not consider it as spam(if its not).. Good Luck..
