Re: [Geary] Allowing all images

[Michael Gratton <mike vee net>]

Hi Liam,

Not at the moment, but there's a request for it and some discussion 
about this over on Bug 714554 
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714554>. In summary, it's a 
not a good idea because it helps spammers, malware, companies and 
governments track you and verify your email address, which is why Geary 
does not currently allow loading images by default.

However I recognise that some people do find it annoying, so perhaps 
Geary could be a bit more smart about which senders it allows by 
default. As I mention in that bug, we could allow remote image loading 
automatically from senders found in your desktop contacts. Thinking it 
over a bit more now, we could also allow remote image loading by 
default for contacts you have both sent and received email from before. 
Maybe there's some other improvements there as as well.

Is there a particular use case you have that makes allowing remote 
images by default worthwhile?

//Mike
