Not quite, the sender still doesn't get location and your browser fingerprint. The receipt of email is still received though.

Yes, but the key question was about the open rate.

The statement:

> I thought Gmail's solution to this was to always download every image in your email and then proxy the image from their own servers when you view it. This results in a meaningless 100% "open rate" for Gmail

is incorrect because

a) GMail does not always download every image in your email

b) GMail does not have a 100% open rate.


You are right, but do not trust in Gmail, because they like to store your data on their servers!
