God help anyone printing emails to shows tampering or lack of for a legal case. And does Gmail have any "Display un****ed" option?? Er, no.
And Amazon, perhaps check your emails on the world's top web client?
> It's expected for an email client to have quality of life features.
Yup. Phishers deserve quality too!
Consider a phish-warning email saying "genuine emails from us will never contain links"... showing these links.
I think they do the same with email addresses and phone numbers too, it’s kind of useful and not a big deal.
On the email, click the dotdotdot, show original. https://imgur.com/a/ymjtfCI
You can see the raw email with "show original" in the options
Any documenation on that list?
I don't think there is an official list. It is security-related and changes over time
> It is security-related and changes over time
That would explain why new prints of an old message don't match old.
I do not recall the Google terms seeking such authorisation.
Is there even an option to disable?

Like, the OP clearly does not understand the distinction between rendering the email and storing it, given their "evidence". But you do understand the difference. Why take their confusion at face value like that?

And storing? How is that in any way relevant?

And that's why storage is relevant. Your complaint was apparently just about how the email is rendered. There is no standard for how that should be done. Like, did you complain that your emails were being tampered with back in the day when you wrote them in a terminal with a fixed width font but someone viewed them in Outlook with a variable width font? I'd like to say that of course you didn't, because what would be a totally absurd complaint, but then again so is your actual complaint as well.

Yes.
> and "alteration"
No.
> But honestly I don't see any distinction to "editing". All of those imply that the email is being changed. It isn't. The email is stored on disk
This isn't about stored form. It is about displayed form - which is all that most users get.
> Your complaint was apparently just about how the email is rendered. There is no standard for how that should be done.
The standard is the expectation it is faithful to the sent form. This case fails that.
> Like, did you complain that your emails were being tampered with back in the day when you wrote them in a terminal with a fixed width font but someone viewed them in Outlook with a variable width font?
No. But someone did complain "Why are the tables messed up?" :)
Fortunately that wasn't a security issue.
