I agree, Jon. I noticed that Mozilla (full) and Thunderbird have a feature which only allows images from the mail host to be viewed (thus blocking the "new" form of email address validation for spamming purposes). I definitely enable that. Not too sure how this could be easily done on other clients, though.
