The only reliable way to track emails now is to include a link that the user needs to respond to.

// Can you guess what VS plug-in I use?
var customers = ctx.Customers.Where(c => c.HasOrders);
var customer = customers.FirstOrDefault();
if (customer != null)

If you know what GetDescendant() does, then you'll know the return type (assuming here).

What is more important, the method and what it does, or the specific technical return type?
