> There is no "always display images from this contact" option if you don't want to load images automatically. You have to click on "show images" every time you read an emai, even from a trusted contact.

Oh man, this is one feature that I've really missed from Gmail, which actually gives you the best of both worlds by proxying external images from their own servers so images can load automatically without compromising privacy.

Can't blame a small-time email provider like Fastmail from not offering something like this given the resources it'd likely require, but I'm using Microsoft's "enterprise" solution (Exchange Online) and they really have no excuses other than poor prioritization.

Anyone aware of other providers offering this feature?



Fastmail has also proxied all images since 2014: https://fastmail.blog/2014/09/16/better-security-and-privacy...

You can configure images to load always, or just for contacts, or always manually.
