From: Capital One
> You haven’t opened an email from us lately, so we’re checking in to make sure your contact information is up to date.

Dear Capital One

I've read all the emails you've sent me, but your naive heuristics are basically wrong:

- I purposely block loading images, so there's no tracking for you, or anyone
- I never click on links in emails, regardless the sender

So, let's figure out a better way.

peace ✌️

An screenshot of an email Capital One sent me, their images looks like no loading, but that's expected.

it reads:

Stay in touch. Stay informed.

@esparta May be it is a good idea to ask it-security department of that bank why they no not send s/mime signed mails.

@esparta I enjoy replying to those kinds of automated emails. It's a delight when the Reply-To header actually has a monitored inbox, and even more delightful when a human responds.

re:

I'd reply to them, but I do use email alias that doesn't have the capability of also send emails - it's a bummer, meaning that if I reply to them, they would actually know my _real_ inbox 📥

@esparta Where do you host your email?
I host mine at Fastmail and I can respond from an alias via their web app. I generally use an email client, not the web app, but this is one of the many nice to have things for occasional use.

@jswright61 ohh that happen to!

One area of Citibank is pretty sure my email was not valid since is a `.co` domain, and every couple of months sent me a paper reminder of use a valid one, I get tired of that and change it to a `.net` email.

@esparta I say F ‘em. We have one credit card with Chase and if it went away we wouldn’t miss it. So I let them waste their time and money notifying us that the email address is “not working” We get emails AT THAT ADDRESS to tell us that the email address doesn’t work. Followed about 10 days later by a snail mail letter.
