That's why some clients won't load images by default, only by request
- joshspankit 6y agoI was disappointed to see the Gmail app on the Pixel actually automatically loads images for emails in the spam folder, with no way to turn them off except to turn off image loading across the board.
- delta1 6y agoGmail already proxies images in emails to their own servers.
- sdfhbdf 6y agoBut they still only request them when the client views them and not beforehand, so the view tracking still works and even has the proper timestamp for that.
- louis-lau 6y agoThat still tells the spammer you opened the email. I also doubt they do so for third party email accounts, which can also be used in the gmail app.
- throwaway744678 6y agoI mean, don't open the messages in the spam folder?

- encryptluks2 6y agoSuprisingly legit emails sometimes still go to spam. I recently had an actual message from Google go into spam and I didn't put it there.
- swiley 6y agoI don't know if I've used a client that doesn't let you turn this off.
- kevincox 6y agoThe problem is that most clients are configured to allow it. So people send email that loads external resources. Now you need a degraded experience for privacy. If most clients disabled remote resources then senders would include them in the message.
