So... we all know that FM can block remote images from HTML email in order to help prevent tracking, but does anyone know if they scrub all URLs from HTML code as well? Can this even be done, if many HTML emails are depending on remote stylesheets or something? And if such scrubbing is not being done, does that mean that blocking remote images only is just a kind of "security theater"? And does it mean that the settings text Ask before loading any external content is somewhat inaccurate?
