Not sure about every HTML being plain text but I do wish I had $20 for every overly image heavy email that has no meaning what so ever unless I do "show images." Don't brands understand a fair number of ppl have their email client *not* display images by default?

Unless you are using Mutt or similar I don't think anybody does not show images by default. I know thunderbird has no problem showing me images that are included in the email.

Remote images are a crime, break the ability to search ofline or keep a record of ones conversation but they have one key advantage for brands which is to spy on you.

Rainloop web client used by Disroot and some others defaults to not showing images and needs you to click a button to display them. IIRC Protonmail is the same in its webmail.

The only non-web client I've used much in recent years is aerc, which is basically covered under "mutt" in this case.

My corporate Outlook email client does not show images by default if the sender is external.

Even if those images are embedded in the email?
