I’m a new and so far happy user of Mailmate. When I’m looking at a new mail that has images, sometimes I actually do want to download those images. I’m really happy that MM 1) gives the option and 2) gives me an idea that some of them might be unsavory (i.e. “strictly blocked”), but the last couple of messages that I have downloaded from I’ve gotten the warning that there were 1 pixel images downloaded - after I did the download. I can’t think of any valid reason for a single pixel image. Shouldn’t there be a warning about them before the download? Or maybe better, shouldn’t they be counted among the strictly blocked?
It is not generally possible to determine that a referenced one-pixel image is a one-pixel image without fetching it, at which point the game is lost. HTML does not require that all IMG tags must have size attributes and incorrect height and width must be accommodated, so a sender could just give bogus dimensions in the tag to avoid blocking.
