Spy pixels in emails 'have become endemic'

  Email tracker, read receipt and spy pixel blocker plugin for macOS Mail (10.11-13.x)

There is a plugin for macOS Mail.app that tries to emulate Hey's tracker blocking.[1] I just installed it and it seems to be working. Also translated all 3 strings to Russian while I'm at it.

macOS Mail.app -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Uncheck "Load remote content in messages"

Privacy defaults come down to usability vs. privacy; Apple making this so easy to toggle is fine by me as I care about privacy and tracking.

Now, it would be great if every macOS application walked you through privacy settings right after installation in the same way that I am offered a tour of the new features. Since there is no such "privacy tour", the community has discussed ways in which macOS can be hardened [1], [2].

  mnm implements TMTP protocol. Let Internet sites message members directly, instead of unreliable, insecure email. Contributors welcome! (Server)

Yes, it's clearly a puff piece.

Can I pay a BBC editor a small bribe to get them to write about mnm & TMTP? :-)
