Email - open rate

Hi,
I would like to count the email open rate with embed img which links to :
http://mysite.com/ccount/click.php?id=1
It counts perfectly when I click on the img in my mailing client and it opens the link in browser, but I would like to get click stat too when an email has opened in Outlook,Thunderbird etc. without clicking.
Thanks,
David

I'm afraid that won't work becuause to open in email client the link must start with "mailto:", but with click counter it will always start with "http://" or "https://"

Newsletter manager tools can count the number of views of an email ( not clicks ) with php.
i have come to believe that it is an easy feature.
Sample HTML email source (which can be tracked by pro newsletter packages):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Mail</title>
</head>
<body><p>Hi,</p><p>This is a mail</p><p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/ccount/click.php?id=1"><img src= "http://mysite.com/myimage.jpg"
alt="Images" width="100" height="100"
border="0" /></a></p>
</body>
</html>
Best regards,
David

Oops, I misunderstood your initial question (read it too quickly). You actually want to count the number of times a mail is read and not number of times a mail link is clicked.
That's quite easy, create a CCount link to the image URL
and then use
Code: Select all
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/ccount/click.php?id=1" alt="Images" width="100" height="100" border="0" />
