I've seen our creative team do something similar with gradient borders but I never thought of creating an image pixel by pixel with HTML. The best use cases make a lot of sense - especially for social media icons which often make it into the pre-header and should thus always render. If nothing else this underscores the fact that way more email creative should be coded to use system text rather than images. Overuse of imagery is the #1 design best practice violation I see, both in terms of frequency and severity. Very cool find on your part.
