## What Jamie wrote

These invisible trackers in email are one of the biggest benefits you get using network level privacy tools like [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net). It is unfortunate that, to my knowledge, no email clients have privacy protection capabilities right now. Even as Web browsers have gotten that added. I do like how [Hey](https://hey.com) calls out senders that do this. Hopefully that spurs others to follow suit.
