Don't make me think... I should be able to copy and paste without any browser tricks or viewing the source.

Right click on a link to copy the url or email address is not a browser trick.

#14My Thunderbird (v31) appears to leak my IP address ... or is it my Postfix server? anyway, it sounds bad regarding anonymity. Is it a configuration problem? my university lab email service has the same issue, so I guess it's a standard configuration ... ? (my mail server says it's Postfix who handled the mail, the one from the lab doesn't leak that)

#17Looks like a great way to harvest active email addresses.
They'd be breaking the Privacy Policy if they were; http://emailleaktest.com/privacy.html
Oh no, not the Privacy Policy!
Seriously though, the presence of a privacy policy gives little comfort when both the website and the Privacy Policy are very careful not to identify who is hosting that domain with Godaddy.

#18If you run a website behind cloudflare it's worth looking into Email IP leaks.
Sometimes simply registering at a website and looking at the registration confirmation email headers can reveal its real IP.

For testing things like this using a throwaway address would appear to be the obvious choice.

#20Another site to test email IP leaks: http://emailipleak.com/ Aside from basic IP leaks, you can also test for other privacy leaks at: https://emailprivacytester.com/ Featured in: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/05/25/test-email-account-privacy-...
The emailleaktest site linked by OP is a word for word down to the privacy policy blatant copy of http://emailipleak.com which we made. Not sure why this is hacker news front page worthy.
