What you're getting isn't a test of how many people read the mail. What you got was a count of people who read the mail in MUAs that don't protect against web bugs. It's also possible that some small percentage of people are using MUAs that will pre-fetch the linked files, but then the user discards the mail unread (I don't know any offhand that do this, but there *was* the brou-ha-ha a while back about certain browsers that would prefetch linked pages from Google searches even if the user didn't visit them, causing lots of hits to links that the user may not even have realized happened, so it's certainly well within the realm of possibility).
