Many email providers have a ‘do not load images’ setting. The two I use, Tuta Mail, and Proton Mail, both have it and I keep it on. When your mom sends you a photo of her new kitten you can just ‘Tap to show images’ or something similar. Images will not be loaded automatically, you need to do it case by case.
