I kinda like this. More often than not, I never click the "Display Images" link because I know doing so will essentially feed information back to the people who sent the email (the fact that I opened it, my geoIP location, browser, etc). I've been fine with a slightly degraded and less pretty email experience in order to give me some extra privacy and keep my information out of marketer's systems. With this I guess I can see emails with all the images and other goodies without that worry. Works for me. On the other hand... There's a good chance Google is caching all this now. But seeing as they're running the mail system I don't feel like it's too major of an intrusion beyond what they already have.
