Thanks for trying out MailMate!

I'm not sure. It depends on how you move to the next message and what you 
expect to happen.

No, not if you mean the special value mapping to the current sender. I *think* 
it's possible to hardcoded its value, but that's probably not what you want.

No, but I think this one works (which might be what you actually want):

        defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmAutomaticExpungeBehavior -string 
"mailboxSwitch"

MailMate isn't very flexible when it comes to SMTP, but you can try this:

        defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmSMTPAlternativeEnabled -bool YES

It should enable an extra popup in the Composer window, but right now I cannot 
recall how well it actually works. There's no way (in the GUI) to add an SMTP 
account which is not part of an IMAP account, but I *think* it's possible to 
add it manually to this file:

    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Submission.plist

Only edit that while MailMate is not running. I'm not promising that any of 
this will work, but now you know :)

I'm currently working on a new message view which also changes how printing 
works. If you can reproduce this after updating to the latest test release (I 
can see you are close) then, if possible, send me an example using “Help ▸ Send 
Feedback”. Just drag the example into the email.

No, but it's a good question. I've noticed that images not having an explicit 
size (very often tracking pixels) end up taking the full width (and then the 
same height) when blocked. This is clearly bad since that huge cross is 
replaced with a single pixel when downloaded. These are not the only images 
which do not have explicit sizes in the HTML. Often they have some fixed width 
and MailMate will then display a square cross. I've now changed this such that 
MailMate will default to 20% of the width of element. This appears to work 
fairly well in practice.

It's not the feature you ask for because images with explicit sizes will still 
have a cross of the exact same size. That could perhaps be overridden using CSS 
and `!important`, but that's not a rabbit hole I'm interested in right now :)

Thanks for that link. I'm very close to giving up on `format=flowed`, but this 
might be a way forward. I'll add this to my other notes on the issue.
