Hmm. I was curious about what those numbers really measure.
Judging by http://litmus.com/email-analytics, it seems that
they refer to a sample of emails that (a) contained a specific
HTML snippet and were (b) opened as HTML by the clients and
(c) by implication, had been sent via a mailing list. It seems
very likely to me that the sample consisted of spam. I'm
not sure that the numbers reflect unbiased statistics, unless
you're a spammer. In any case they don't indicate how many
people open email in plain text mode (which I alway do if
possible, precisely to avoid embedded code).
That said, they certainly show that one size doesn't fit all.
Does anyone have statistics of POP3 vs IMAP vs split-UI?
