They can also set up redirectors in the URLS that are posted in the links in the email to accomplish the same thing.

Personally, I don't automatically download images, or ever send a read receipt, and run my own mail servers, so NOBODY knows if I've ever read their emails.
Wow! You sir are an "IT Guru"....
