Can't they also change the links to redirects before imap and pop3
download them? It's probably more work to implement, but still very
possible.

 So for the past six months or so google has decided to infesting their
 gmail webmail with tracking redirectors on all things that look like
 links.
 To be expected, and fuck em straight to hell.

 But who else find it hilarious they chose 'usg' as the tracking
 parameter name ;)

 I'm surprised they didn't start doing this long ago. Lots of juicy data
 to mine there.
