Notice that I said it cannot be done _reliably_. Frederick suggested a method of including a image link in the email which can be logged at your site to indicate that the receiver has viewed the image. This will only work if the recipient has his email viewer setup to automatically open images, which many do not. Whatever mailchimp say they cannot guarantee it, they would not be able to detect that I had opened one of their mails for example.
