Details

HTML "enhanced" e-mail can cause the browser to attempt to try to grab images
and other information when reading e-mail. This allows the spammers to verify
your e-mail address when you reads the message. It would be very helpful to be
able to
disable this type of activity in e-mail, possibly with a cookie-like system of
allowing the load for particular addresses.
