@matigo Does the original suffixed variant always exist? If not, does anything in the file info response unambiguously signal its existence?

@dgold I think I use "10Centuries", but I know my code uses "TenCenturies" in identifiers, because leading numbers are not allowed.

@literary It's not an issue for you sending. But the recipients are sending a "hey I looked at that image in your signature" whenever they open it, unless they disabled image loading. (Gmail mobile doesn't even have disabling image loading as an option.)
@literary But folks soliciting you / spamming you might very well be. It's used to track when/if the email was opened and how many times, to see if it got forwarded, etc. Every time the image gets loaded due to viewing the email, ping! now they can know and record that fact.
@literary It is pretty, though in my mail clients, it'd just have a big hole at the end, since I've disabled auto-loading of images to kill tracking pixels. (Lots of our sales team has done the same, I think. SalesForce f.ex. is sneaky about tracking outbound messages, and they know it.)
I pushed back hard against lengthy and visual signatures, and I ended up using a greatly stripped down one at work compared to a lot of the sales and marketing folks. My sig is just name and email – and those are only there to help preserve context across threads with quotation, since they just duplicate the From header anyway. >_<
@matigo I was an easy teen, so I expect to be wholly unprepared for what my own kids might do. :\
@matigo If the poop is just everywhere, it's generally better to hose them off in the sink or tub (which one depends on your kid and sink sizes). Annoying but faster and more sanitary overall.
Doing that with a hungry kid, though, that's extra no fun. :\
