One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing additional content in an email. An email service can receive the email at an email server. Prior to the email being sent to an email client, metadata for a parameter used to retrieve the additional content is identified and collected. The collected metadata is sent to the email client used by the intended recipient of the email (e.g., on a smart phone). When the user attempts to access the email, the email server can respond by sending script code to the email client, which, in combination with locally stored metadata retrieved from the email, provides the additional content in the email. In this manner, an email regarding a package, for example, can include not only a tracking number but also a status of the delivery of the package, where the status may be different/updated each time the email is accessed.
