Yes I know they are not blocked because they are not external source, I was just mentioning that because given option of losing open email tracking AND images as opposed to just losing email open tracking I know which one I would prefer!

I did pretty extensive testing for our (B2C UK) userbase in 2000, and we found despite bigger email people click and convert better for those emails with embedded images. In fact we due to that strict limit to overall email size (100k) we had to think better about design unlike some companies that did think and still think that email is just a webpage.

We did a lot of testing for our embedded images solution and it did work fine with most clients, I think Macs were okay (we always included plain text version for clients that won't support html and provided option to customers to specify format they want).

            Embedded images would be blocked because they are not an external source. They couldn't be used for this type of spying for example. We tried embedded images but they didn't wo ...

              I've tried a few ways of getting the images through recently. Not sure if it's just my settings but Hotmail wouldn't display the images, despite them getting through fine with the ...
