Protect me from images? That is not why I used this feature. I used it so that images like /verifyRealEmail.php?email=$myaddress wouldn't work.

  If the gmail proxy caches every image that is sent to a gmail address, then this bad for spammers, and good for everyone else. That's one less mechanism to verify valid (or active) email address.

    I wonder if Google will access an image URL in an email sent to a nonexistent address

      They almost have to, otherwise it would be much too easy to scrape gmail addresses (from Google itself!).
