Would anyone else be interested in inserting a private version of a tracking pixel into each of their e-mails, so that you'd get a list of IP addresses where the mail was viewed back?
It would be interesting to see where mail was read versus where it is simply passed in plain text. Crowd-sourcing anonymous data might also allow us to determine which IP addresses belong to the NSA's systems.
I doubt the NSA is foolish enough to make external requests to load images in the emails they read.
And yet they accidentally hired at least one contractor with a conscience!
If it's passed in plain text the tracking pixel wont load.
