Mail Privacy Issue

shoe · 04/04/2011, 12:20 PM

Since the start of WebOS until the current public version (2.1.0) our mail client automatically downloads remote images which is a privacy issue. Those pictures mostly contain individual URL parameters to verify the recipient, e.g. in spam mails.

After various attempts to sensitize H/Palm directly about this issue without any success I posted in their forums. Since this post is still pretty lonely after two weeks I ask you to raise your voice if you care about privacy like I do.
