They do images, with a link "click here to view as text" that redirects to sendpluto's web viewer.

If that's true, then it's misleading to call it e-mail. All the recipient gets is a link to an offsite database.

Hi lutusp,

The content displays automatically in the email client. The link is only relevant if you want to copy/paste/make in-line comments. Thanks for your comment.

Now that google fetches the images from its own servers once and then renders for all, would this even work?

Sure, if they used a unique filename for each email. Something like render.png?id=12345.

no, he means that because google caches the image upon reciept you can neither change the email nor delete it after it is sent.
