When I open an email on Thunderbird, it sometimes doesn't show parts of the email. It prints a message saying that it didn't display those items in order to protect my "privacy." But it does provide a button to click to display the whole email if I want to.
Am I right in concluding the following:
(1) If I do NOT click the button that would display the rest of the email, the sender of the email will have NO WAY to determine whether or not I read his email.
(2) If I DO click the button that displays the rest of the email, the sender of the email WILL KNOW that I read his email.
These questions may be a bit simple to most on this forum, but I just wanted to make sure that my two assumptions are accurate.
If they are not, is there any way to read an email without the sender knowing I READ it?
Even better, can I receive an email without the sender knowing I received it? Or will the sender always know I at least received an email if it does not bounce back to him with some sort of message?
Thanks so much.
