Is MailMate safe for Collecting Spy Sheets?
MailMate should block everything,
As is proper for mail clients. Doing otherwise is user-hostile.
but I'm naturally interested if that should fail in any way. If you
allow fetching external resources (in general or for a specific email)
then MailMate does not protect you in any way.
Well, there is the option to block "known" trackers etc. If a user
really wants to load *all* remote content, it would be wrong to refuse.
It is good that MailMate's default is safe, and that it makes the
function obvious as a security measure.

In general, I don't guarantee anything since people come up with some
really smart tricks -- and some times I introduce new bugs. Quite a
lot of MailMate users seem to also be using Little Snitch and someone
will usually write to me when the latter happens :)
MailMate has done a great job of attracting security-minded mail-smart
people. We've got multiple authors of email RFCs on this list. There's
little chance of a significant problem being missed.
