<p dir="auto">I tend to mess around with a few mail clients to see what’s new and around (and then come back to MM). One thing that I found in the latest version of PostBox that I would love too see in MM (if possible) is the inclusion of their <a href="https://www.postbox-inc.com/features" style="color:#777">Anti-tracking feature</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">In theory, MM could display the same dialog it does now, not showing images unless we say it’s ok, but also indicate if said email has tracking pixel in it.</p>

<p dir="auto">There's no standard definition of a tracking pixel. In fact, a logo could be the tracking pixel itself. It would only be revealed by the image URL and if you are really smart about it then that might also be very difficult to determine. But MailMate could certainly be clearer about why image blocking is important.</p>
<p dir="auto">Related to this topic, a different kind of tracking is links within an email itself. There exists services which track if/when/where you click a link. I once added a warning to MailMate about this, but it's very rarely triggered, because I only added one tracking service. The warning looks like this:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="cid:2F65BAD2-130E-4FD2-8F9F-3C034C193F8A@freron.com" alt="" title="PastedImage.png"></p>
<p dir="auto">I don't really know if there is any interest in this type of warning though (I think I did it just to figure out how one could prevent such tracking).</p>
