    Sounds a bit creepy but many webmails already do this. I think you can also just block remote content on Thunderbird which should mitigate the issue

    Not sure how this feature is creepy it could be convenient for some people and they could use the address for mailing lists

    All these “safety features” for mail and nothing seems to be able to stop spam. SPF? DKIM? DNSSEC? Everything fails because it’s just too hard for everyone to properly self-host and E2E encrypt mail.

    I only communicate with friends by Matrix.org, I’m sad that there’s no simple mail equivalent. PGP is still a massive failure because big mail providers don’t want it and people don’t care.

      A matrix client that looks like an email one would be awesome, it probably could replace it for registrations if enough web sites start to adopt it.

      they don’t want to stop spam, they want to get access to your emails to remove all dangers for you :) such approach targets lazy or naive users :)
