email & creativity

[yonido]

hey

my final goal: to add a link to an email message, that will contact my
server & mark the email as "important", with no popup windows/annoying
messages.

id like to do this in ajax, but the problem is javascript support in
emails.
i want it to work in every computer, even if its viewed in gmail.

my first attempt was a <a href='javascript:alert("hey")'>click</a> but
outlook doesnt activate it, nor gmail.

so my 2nd thought was maybe opening an outside window that will do the
server marking, and then close the window, but explorer verifies if the
user wants to close the window.

any idea how i can do this? be creative

What is wrong with the current way of setting importance? I don't really get
why it should contact your server.

Don't expect any form of scripting to work in the Reading Pane of Outlook
especially for unsigned messages. There are things like security to think of
;-)
