I don't think the timing attack method would work very well since they probably have thousands of numbers to go through. The other one, I guess, but it seems like a lot of effort to find out who is slightly more likely to click things when they could have included a tracking code instead (or, like what they did, requested a reply text in addition to going to the link). I think it probably isn't that risky to just look at the website.
