Emails

I've noticed that some of my referral links are coming from email accounts. Does anyone have any idea how this is happening?

Email sent as html with links in it. If viewed in a webmail application like Yahoo of Hotmail, when the link is clicked, you'd capture the referrer as coming from the body of that html email message.

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer. I know how it happens. It's just that I haven't sent any emails with a link to my site in them but yet I've gotten a number of referrals from emails. No big deal. A hit is a hit. I'm just curious as to how.

Some people who find your site send mails to friends and relatives with a link to your site.
