Yep. I just got informed that we've been doing the same for years.... I
rarely ever hit "display images" in emails so I've never seen it before.
Just had an interesting discussion with my boss - might get it removed in

cloned with phishing/malware links that could be clicked on by our
customers.
Until then, I've been told to live with it - like I have been for most of
the past decade, apparently.
