Interesting approach, but the image approach means if they go down, your email all disappears.

also, you can't search, copy&paste, reply inline. That's not email, it's like sending someone a fax.
Pluto allows you to select, copy, and paste from the text version accessible via the link, though it does have search limitations. For our active users, the inconvenience is an acceptable tradeoff for being able to limit their email footprint. Search is also much less important if the email will soon be expired.

However, we are working on email client plugins that will enable inline reply/copy/paste and search to improve the Pluto experience.
