Description Heiko Adams 2015-01-11 15:19:26 UTC 
Currently if a html mail is opened at least in preview pane and the body contains html-tags like <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="http://TRACKING_URL/"> the link gets prefetched which can be a privacy problem because a bad boy at least can get informations about my ISP and potentially my general location.

So there should be a way to turn of the link-prefetching in evolutions settings.

To verify and reporduce this just browse to https://emailprivacytester.com/ and opt-in to receive a test-mail.

Thanks for a bug report.

Tom, I think this is already fixed, by disabling link prefetching completely in Evolution, isn't it?
Comment 2 Tomas Popela 2015-02-12 12:12:33 UTC 
Yes, it was fixed by https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741313
Comment 3 Milan Crha 2015-02-12 12:37:35 UTC
