    There is an interesting use of webbugs made by one outfit.  If you
    append .confirm.to to the end of the address you send a mail to
    it will be sent to the original address (without the .confirm.to).  When
    a person reads the mail on an html mail reader it replies to .confirm.to.
    They, in turn, send you an email specifying the time, IP address and
    MAC address of the machine on which the mail was read.
