Here's an question... Suppose I'd like to send emails that include images. The images are content, I don't care about tracking. Is there any way to do that in a way that's privacy friendly?

The natural way of doing this would be embedded images. However, it seems that many mail clients don't support these. (https://www.emaillistvalidation.com/blog/embedded-image-supp...)

Are there any other options? The only other option I can see would be to use SVG images and then sort of "compile" the SVG into the html source. However, given how email clients have limited html support, this doesn't seem workable either...

It's frustrating that these tracking pixels have made genuine content images so unreliable.
