Can i create a campaing to not have opens in sent folder counted as opens

[Trish_Voskovitc]

hi there
my sales people often go to their sent folders and open emails they have previoulsy sent to prospects  to cut and paste copy into another email - unfortunately this triggers that the email was opened.

any way to create a campaign to stop this from happening? at this point the opened stat neans nothing as it happens so often.

Thanks

In your email performance report, you can go to the smart list tab and add in a filter where email address does not contain your company's domain.
