Description from store

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT A PRACTICALLY USABLE EXTENSION. It is published for EXPERIMENTAL and ACADEMIC PURPOSES ONLY

UPDATE: It now works uniformly with the addition of JQuery!

Authors: Jim Sproch and John Yang-Sammataro

This plugin is an experiment in injecting images into Gmail's DOM leveraging the Gmailr library (though this result actually does 90% of the work by hand since the library is outdated and we had to update it ourselves to get it working!).

It is the beginning of an Email pixel tracker.

To use this plugin in its current state:

(After downloading and enabling the plugin)

Now every email you send from Gmail will automatically be appended with an "interesting" signature.

Thanks to James Yu et al (http://www.jamesyu.org/) for the Gmailr and accompanying libraries and accepting my pull request to Gmailr!
