What? 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).
