Well, this is true enough, but if they read it online, they'll be
reading a PDF online, and if they print it out, it won't matter
whether they got it through http or smtp, eh?

Of course, you must do as you see fit, but it seems like a strange
restriction to place on people solely to capture data on who's reading
it.  Not that it's an excessive restriction, just a little odd.
Aren't you making more work for yourself also, doing it this way?
