How To Get Gmail To Load Your Images By Default
2009 July 27
Google’s Gmail service is now loading images by default, which is unique among the major email providers.
One major reason that images are generally not loaded by default is to protect against spammers. When a tracking image is loaded, spammers will know that email address is live.
To protect against this, Gmail has two conditions for loading images by default:
- The email must be authenticated.
- The person receiving the email must have sent you (the person sending the email) at least two emails in the past.
This gives email newsletters that encourage two-way communication (the receiver replying back to the sender of the newsletter) an advantage in Gmail.
