This is a hoax. As usual these hoaxes are targeted at those that are not yet cynical enough ;-) There is no such way to track e-mail (yet) it's just a hoax.

There are several variants of this hoax, below is the original version:

We have rented an email tracker for the next 3 months!
We at RH Power Inc. want to see how many people
our email can reach in this time!
If you forward this mail, you will be PAID MONEY!!!!
This email must be sent immediately upon receiving
this for it to be counted.
For every person you send this to you will receive $413!
For every person they send this to you will receive $139!
I too Ryan LaGrange,
Head Marketing Manager,
thought this was a hoax until I did the same this and the next
month got a check for $4612 in the mail!

*************************BONUS*******************************

IF YOU SEND THIS TO AT LEAST 15 PEOPLE RIGHT AWAY,
A $25 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE
WILL POP UP ON YOUR SCREEN
PRINT OUT THIS-IT IS A GIFT CERTIFICATE!!!

Here's another common version:

Subject: Fw: OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE -Read this! It's a deal!
