> I don’t load remote images by default, so this already doesn’t work for me. However, basically every mail platform creates tailored links to track click engagement. So you’re screwed anyway, just maybe a little later.
Right, but I don't mind if companies I'm actually doing business with track my engagement. For newsletters I've actually signed up for, clicking the "load remote images" and/or on personalized links helps them with their business model, so why not? If I don't trust them with the data, I probably wouldn't sign up for their list anyway.
I'm more worried about randomly being tracked by who knows what person or organization. With the "don't load remote content by default", I have control over when and how I get measured.
