There is a concern (fear?) (paranoia?) that the HTML plus tag-along java etc may insert nasties into your system.
i can manage the nasties by being aware of what links i follow (mostly not) and what images i load (mostly not); it's the tracking that i don't like:
when an email doesn't make sense unless you "load remote images", that means XYZ Online Store Service wants to know i read their email at exactly 12:52 a.m. and that i preferred the green button to the orange one; ABC Online Marketing Service, which actually sends the emails, can also then aggregate my behavior in response to emails from multiple senders, so they can tell BZF Product Specialists that i tend to respond better to XYZ Online Store than i do to IMO Worldwide Sales
