I highly doubt it. How would they track a plain text email? There's nothing
in email, apart from the servers that are handling the email, to facilitate
this. Now if someone specifically designed an email client to talk to the
'didtheyreadit.com' servers and inform them directly of when they read email
and everyone used it to read email.
It works just like the US post office... You send mail, but unless the
recipient does something or you paid the post office extra to obtain proof of
delivery then you'll never know if it got there.

Looks like it's similar to the 1px transparent image
technique spammers use. Gmail seems to be blocking
an image in the email. I wonder if this works with
plain text emails.

If your test will work, it is interesting to know
how many read this list during the weekends too.
Maybe you can let us know.
