- eco 13y agoYeah. The author of this article apparently didn't read the GMail announcement carefully enough. Email marketers can no longer track when email is opened on GMail accounts because every single image is opened whether the user reads the email or not. Edit: Some other discussions about this on HN suggest it only fetches the email if the user opens the email so I guess the jury is still out.
