LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers
I typically use the Apple Mail macOS client and it has some built-in proxy feature to block trackers that I recommend using. I also developed the MailTrackerBlocker plugin if that feature doesn’t work for you for some reason (older macOS version, etc).

Why does Pocket (owned by Mozilla) have tracking elements embedded in their email newsletters?
I employ Mail Tracker Blocker on macOS Apple Mail and I see that this plug in is blocking something. So, why does Pocket, which is owned by Mozilla, a privacy forward company, have trackers in their "Pocket Hits" newsletter?

A realization of why email is critical infrastructure for the Internet
And yet none of those corporations has displaced email, despite the fact that it has become a universal cyberattack channel, with a stagnant UX that doesn't address most real-world use cases for email!
I saw a need for a safer, better, decentralized protocol for email, so I drafted one (TMTP) and implemented client & server. More at:
https://mnmnotmail.org/ & https://twitter.com/mnmnotmail

Ask HN: If the Internet were redesigned today, what changes would you make?
The primary problem for email at this point is that it's a highly effective cyberattack channel, because it allows anyone, claiming any identity, to send you any content, without limits. This cannot be "fixed" as it's the intended function.
No one was working on an alternative that addresses this problem, so I drafted & implemented "TMTP".
