One important clarification since the question comes up often. AMP for email doesn't make emails inherently mutable.
Emails already support updating by including external image references inside the email. Allowing this is a choice of the client.
AMP for email makes JSON requests proxied by the email client. Your client can decide to only make these requests once and then keep them stable or to show you a version history of the state of your email upon every time you opened it.
- pfortuny 8y agoWhat? My email client has to connect according to what a message says? That is crazy, man. NB: Not blaming you, just shocked.
- cramforce 8y agoNah, it would typically include all info known at send time, but it can see if there is updated data on email open time. E.g. when you open a notification email from GitHub, the email can tell you that since it was sent, there are now additional comments to consider.
- pfortuny 8y agoOk, but a sufficiently bad constructed message woul force me to do something to retrieve interesting “actual” content? That is what seems wrong.
- cramforce 8y agoThat email would probably otherwise just contain a link. It really doesn't make a difference. Clients can (and do) use trust scoring to activate AMP in emails. Right now they use the same model that would allow loading images by default.

- yorwba 8y agoI doesn't have to connect. All email clients I use are set to block external content, unless I explicitly decide otherwise (but I can't remember when I last needed to see an image included in an HTML mail).

- X-Istence 8y agoI block loading of external resources, very much on-purpose. So in this case the AMP email will just, not work. Great.
- Touche 8y agoThe existence of one security issue is not an invitation to introduce more.
- ganeshkrishnan 8y ago^ Please disclose that you work for Google. Don't push AMP as if from a neutral point of view
