I’ve been working on email security for over two decades, so I’ve 
seen some spectacularly stupid things from @eff, but this tops them all.

A better idea for addressing "EFAIL": stop using reckless MUAs that 
fetch external references. Or, you know:

STOP USING HTML IN EMAIL AT ALL!!!

"But I want to" is not a justification of intrinsically dangerous 
activity.
