Google's Gmail
service will finally show images by default in emails. The company has
done this by serving all the images users receive on its own proxy
servers, instead of serving them from external host servers.
According to Google, this will improve the email experience without
compromising security. In a post on the official Gmail blog, the company
said: "Your messages are more safe and secure, your images are checked
for known viruses or malware."Earlier, users needed to give authorization before emails could display
images. Those who prefer that emails do not show images automatically
can choose to disable the new feature under the General tab in Settings
menu.
Google
said that the new Gmail feature will be available on desktops as well
as Android and iOS devices. While the desktop users can access this
feature from today itself, mobile app users will have to wait till early
2014. Source : The Times of India
