Description
Describe the solution you'd like
k-9 should block email tracking pixels out of the box
Here's the tracking list used by hey.com, that we might want to use:
https://gist.github.com/dhh/360f4dc7ddbce786f8e82b97cdad9d20
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have images not showing by default right now to block tracking pixels, but I would still like to see images in my emails without being tracked.
