If companies want to have inline images in their emails, they should have to send the image data along with the rest of the message. Email clients should not allow emails to load third party resources.


What, so that the client has literally no choice of not showing the images, even you just want to view the text version?

Good email clients already provide a very simple solution: a user option to disable loading remote content, with a per-message option to load it.

Your suggestion would mean that my mail client has to download a ridiculously larger volume of data than it does now.
