I could very well be wrong but I always thought that if you disable loading pictures by default, that tracking pixels would be blocked as well. Unless you click on "Show Pictures" that is.

Right, that seems to be the real "fix".

This was likely the entire intent of this change, to allow email tracking by default. After all, Google tracks email opens too.
