It depends on the client.

The referer is sent by the client. If the client application (webbrowser)
is able to identify that the referer was an email, and send this
information to the server, then yes. But in general, web browsers cannot
(or do not) do this.

So the "limitation" is on the client side, and there is nothing to do
about it.

Normally no. For webmail you might get a http referer, but for normal email
probably not.

Why not just include something in the querystring in the link so when it's
clicked on you know it's referred from an email?
