Question about HTML Email tracking

We have a need to track our customers opening the HTML emails that we send
out to them. As soon as the customer opens the HTML email that we send out
we need to make an entry in the database with the email viewd date. What are
the options I have?

You could insert some client-side JavaScript that invokes a server-side page
which would update your logs.

<BODY onLoad="window.open('http://MyServer.com/TrackEmail.asp')">

In TrackEmail.asp, you would have code that tracks whatever it is that you
wish to track.
