I turn off image lookup in my mail reader because I don't want to give those spam b******s any more clues than I have to. I'm using the standard Mail.app that comes with OS/X.

Which says to me that they think their message is so weak that it won't be convincing without wasting lots of my bandwidth, they don't understand the tools they sell, and they don't know what's going on on the internet.
I've decided to start a new category of minor rants against the inanities of a cruel and unjust world. That sort of thing...
