Hi Henry,

I'm not trying to download attachments (I access attachments via their 
icon). I'm talking about the "Download All" and "Download" buttons that 
appear when a message contains embedded images. Some messages contain 
many embedded images and it isn't possible to know which ones I want to 
see. I appreciate that MailMate categorizes embedded images as either 
"blocked" or "strictly blocked," but I was hoping that 1-pixel images 
(which are obviously trackers/beacons) were categorized as "strictly 
blocked" and that "Download" (versus "Download All") wouldn't download 
them.
