As discussed in your previous post it is not possible to do this
reliably. Consider emails you receive yourself for example. Do you
want the sender to know when you open it on your personal PC? In
principle this could allow him to determine things about you that you
want to keep private. Are you at home at a particular time of day for
example.
Notice that I said it cannot be done _reliably_. Frederick suggested
a method of including a image link in the email which can be logged at
your site to indicate that the receiver has viewed the image. This
will only work if the recipient has his email viewer setup to
automatically open images, which many do not. Whatever mailchimp say
they cannot guarantee it, they would not be able to detect that I had
opened one of their mails for example.
