I forget other people aren't disabled and are fully functioning cos I'll be reacting in horror and sympathy to their normal day thinking they'd be on the floor in pieces, just completely obliterated from work. But they're like... fine? And then they go to a night club afterwards?? I couldn't imagine, wtf

Any sufficiently advanced technology is insufficiently documented

A feature of email is that my inbox is an immutable copy of everything I received no-one can change.

With email, I can prove I've been harassed, sent malware, wrong links, illegal orders by my employers, the date of an event I've missed because it was wrong and I'm innocent, etc.

With Google AMP, the sender will be able to "update" those emails and deny his mistake, hide proofs, fake the history.

This technology put people at risk.

A question for @thunderbird: do you have any plan to fight against AMP, the Google initiative to make email "dynamic" (read controllable from home / enabling tracking / "updating" content I don't want to be updated) and thus killing the main feature of email: being an immutable copy of stuffs people send me?

From https://amp.dev/about/email

> Embedding AMP within an email [...] add a MIME part with a content type of text/x-amp-html. It should live alongside the existing text/html or text/plain parts. This ensures that the email message works on all clients

You can be SURE that most of these AMP "rich" email won't have text/plain nor a text/html useful content

Can we hope for email providers to reject every AMP "riches" emails? Or will Google also take control of our inboxes?
