Just tested this with https://emailprivacytester.com/ https://emailprivacytester.com/ and it failed Even though it claims to not load remote content by default, and pops up a "Load Images" dialogue, it actually loads content from the html5 video and audio tags immediately. So whilst this doesn't work unless the user clicks "Load Images": <img src="http://TRACKING_URL/"> This does: <video autoplay="true" src="http://TRACKING_URL/"></video>

Sounds like a bug, I'd suggest you report it.
- mike-cardwell 13y ago
  Yeah, I'm just about to do that. [edit] Their bug report form has a bug. https://bugs.opera.com/wizarddesktop/ https://bugs.opera.com/wizarddesktop/ keeps failing for me. If somebody else can submit this, it would be much appreciated.

    It looks like the bugwizard hasn't been updated to make it obvious how to report mail bugs yet, but I have filed your issue.
    - jgraham 13y ago
      (and the problem preventing the bugwizard working at all should now be fixed)

  When I download the mail it says: "Thank you for choosing Opera browser. We hope you enjoy it." Should it be Opera Mail, not browser.

    Yes it should :-) I had to do quite a bit of research to find out who maintains that page and could update it. But found them in the end and that papercut is reported. I'll check it again tomorrow to see if it has been fixed :-)

Ouch! Looking at it. Have created a bug about it already, so no need to report.

  I like it a lot when someone involved with the project answers to "bug reports" or complaints like this. Gives me the feeling that they care. I see this a lot on hacker news and it always puts a smile on my face.

  Works in Opera 12.15 too. Is there a hope for fix in it?

Thanks for this cool tool. FWIW, older versions of Opera with included mail client have the same problem.

I thought it came out that emailprivacytester.com was a service created by the NSA.
- mike-cardwell 13y ago
  It was created by me. The complete source code is available on github if you would prefer to host it yourself. Linked to from the about and privacy pages of the site.

    Fair enough, I was just joking of course...
