Google just announced a plan to “modernize” email with its Accelerated Mobile Pages platform, allowing “engaging, interactive, and actionable email experiences.”

“AMP started as an effort to help publishers, but as its capabilities have expanded over time, it’s now one of the best ways to build rich webpages,” it writes in the blog post announcing the AMP for Gmail test.

What a great new attack vector for spreading malware. If the email won't be readable in plaintext view with remote content blocked, then it will go straight to the trash. No questions asked.
