click counts in reporting

Good morning!

I wanted to get some clarity on two questions regarding the reporting for clicks and emails delivered in reporting. 

There is a count of emails sent and a count of emails suppressed. Does the total count of emails sent INCLUDE the number of emails suppressed or exclude? So if you add the suppressed and sent it should equal the total number of intended sends?

Also - does the click number include the clicks on opt-out/spam or are those counted separately? We are doing some segment analysis and I want to be able to speak to the data but it's not clear if total unique clicks include the opt-out/spam clicks. 

Thank you!

    The total count does not include the suppressed count, so you are correct that you'd add these numbers together to get the original # of contacts you intended to send to.​
    Also - does the click number include the clicks on opt-out/spam or are those counted separately?

    The click count does not include clicks to the opt-out link, so you are correct that these are counted separately.

    Have a great day.
