Why does react-email add link preload tags in the head for images?

This causes a real annoying issue where mac's email clients will never actually load images when users press 'load external content'. I was struggling for days trying to figure out what causes this! Then I got a newsletter from Resend themselve. And the images did not load. I solved the issue by removing the link preload tags in the head. And it finally works! Question now is, is this ok? Or do we actually need those preload tags in there??

Because we use React DOM under the hood, and React DOM adds them in without any option to opt-out (AFAIK). In the future, we're probably going to use another renderer more meant for our kind of use case that won't have this, ideally.

But the results are really bad here. imo. I'm now looping through link tags in the head after render to get them out. Now my emails work as they should! Not one user is actually going to press that button multiple times. How was this never addressed before? Seems im the only one who thinks this is really bad actually.

You had email compatibility issues because of it? What was the email client that had issues?
