Solved: Open Rates - Constant Contact Community

When a contact just views an email in the reading pane of Outlook does that count as "opening" an email? Helena

It will only count if the 1x1 transparent tracking pixel is allowed to download/display. If the recipient doesn't allow images to download/display, then the open won't be able to be tracked.
