@hal9000 "With real-time tracking you can know once your email is read" <-- creepy

@kravietz @hal9000 That is only within Criptext to Criptext emails, it's the same as the Signal read receipts feature.

@supernova @hal9000 ok, this makes a lot of sense then (I imagined some omnipotent trackers embedded in emails...)

@kravietz @hal9000 Yeah their blurb could be made a bit clearer. This option can be turned off as well.

@supernova @hal9000 so I actually tested it and in emails sent to non-Criptext accounts they embed an IMG tracker - so still creepy I'm afraid :)
