Tracking e-mail link?

[AlienAlien is verified member.]

I'd like to send a link in an email to one person and track if the person has actually clicked on the link (it goes to an external site which is not on my server).

What would be the best way to do this? Use a script my end or external tracking service, etc, etc?

Thanks all.
