In case it's not obvious, turning that on means the sender can get the
email to "phone home" when you read it, which is useful anytime the
sender's business model is selling eyeballs to advertisers
(e.g. spammers, social media, google).

Personally I would recommend external images off and (if possible) doing
something like [right click > show this external image] when you run
into a legitimate email with such an external resource.

This is also why you should probably use that browser plugin to disable
"like" &c buttons until you actually click on them.  (I forget the
plugin name - I just block facebook &c completely.)
