title: Track email from Gmail client with Mandrill
body: <p>My company just recently signed up to start using Mandrill and I have been put in charge of trying to get it set up, however I'm running into an issue. Ideally we'd like to use the ability to see if e-mails have been opened on an individual bases by tracking through the Mandrill Dashboard, but we are using Gmail as our e-mail client and sending sales messages, follow up, etc. via Gmail. </p>
  
  <p>From what I've read Mandrill tracks the open rate, click rate and other stats by placing a small invisible image in the email, and if its downloaded it tracks it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to place that small, invsible image into my Gmail outgoing message and have it report to my Mandrill?</p>
  
  <p>If not are there alternatives ways to still send from Gmail but track the statistics in my Mandrill dashboard? Are there other services that are better.</p>
  
  <p>I know that I can open the Mandrill App and send from there, but it doesn't seem to use the templates very well. Is there a way to use the templates from inside the Mandrill App?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
