 If the mail client has turned off automatic image loading, then the image will not be loaded from LUCY and therefore you will not be able to track if the user opened the email. Most mail clients (Outlook etc.) today have disabled automatic image loading. As a result you won't see if users opened the emails.

 +Each link in LUCY contains a unique identifier which enables the application to see, who clicked the link. This technology is used to also determine automatically, who has opened the email. The opened email statistics are therefore always a combination of tracking images combined with link tracking. Link tracking is enabled by default and does not need to be configured manually.
