To an extent - it seems that google indirectly confirms that emails are received (even though additional data is lost).

A outfit like Yesware provides rough location data w/ their pixels.

FWIW, they're partially funded by Google Ventures- perhaps there is some type of technical compromise that doesn't break geographic tracking completely: http://www.yesware.com/blog/2012/07/18/how-does-yesware-trac...

I believe they still have an "Ask before displaying external images" setting.
Yes, but it is unclear whether their servers will load them regardless of whether or not they're sent to my browser.
But surely ALL emails to @gmail.com are received.
