You might know this already, but a common spammer tactic is to include images
in their html mails like <img
src="http://spam.server.com/Viktor_actually_read_this_spam.gif";> that let
them know that you actually read their spam, *if* you read the message in a
graphical browser.  From then on you can count on that address receiving the
GSSSP (Gross Solar System Spam Product).

Yes, I know there are countermeasures like proxies, defangers, and filtering
spam away first, but I thought everyone should know that this path is
perilous.
