Gmail on my smartphone (running Froyo) doesn't load images. In fact it has a "Show pictures" button which I must explicitly press to load images.

Android 1.6 on my G1 loads the following content before I click "Show Pictures":

iframes

inline css style tags with an @import option.

external css style tags

object embed tags

It also honours meta refresh tags and opens the standard web browser entire automatically just by viewing the email.

Can you please test Froyo using my app at https://secure.grepular.com/email_privacy_tester/

I'd be interested to know if all of these flaws still exist in newer versions of Android...

Just submitted to test. Should I get an email?

You should, unless your spam filter blocks it...?
