You could in theory parse all HTML parts of messages, and identify every

preferably through a site-wide web-cache (so that the user's content is
pre-cached if it ever gets to them), and then decide what to do based on what
comes back.

Of course, if you do this, simply hitting the server triggers the "Aha, someone read this email" nature of the web bug, defeating the purpose of the filter.
