In your email:

<img src="https://path/to/mark-as-read?notificationId=1234&source=email" width="1" height="1" />

Bonus server-side:

When that endpoint is hit from an email, delay the response for 5-10s and listen for the connection being terminated early from the client. If they make it past 5-10s, then mark the notification as read. If not, then either they skimmed it or it was a fluke request.

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)
