In fact, the mailing partner did something very interesting here, which is
to send the message with both a plain-text and HTML copy, embedded in the
same mail. My client is configured to prefer the plain-text version, so I
saw links of the form "http://www.amazon.com/xo".  In the HTML copy, it's
as Chris described.

So OLPC beware; the traffic statistics you're getting back from Constant
Contact Inc don't include (at least some) users running Thunderbird, and
maybe anyone else with a similar client.
