Is it possible for the original writer to track an email they forwarded to a group of people and follow where those people then sent it?
Also, from a legal point of view, if I receive an email that has a number of names on it that has been forwarded to me, is it an offence to then contact directly, one of those people it has been copied to?

Probably not directly - but they could embed an image into the email linking to a website and use the website logs to see which ip's have viewed the image
a legal offence? no0 -

Not illegal but it maybe frowned upon, I would consider reporting it to abuse@yourisp.com as unsolicited email if it were to get through the spam filter0
