Incidentally... I’ve made it my practice for quite some time now to not OPEN any email from someone I don’t know, or that I know contains HTML or graphics, specifically because emails have contained server-side graphics for quite a while, which are used to indicate whether or not a person at that email address opened the email. So any spam you get that you open, if it contains graphics of any kind, could be telling the spammer that you’re “live” even if you don’t fall for the old “reply to be removed...” trick.
Instead, any email I am suspicious of that I still want to read the included text of, I REPLY to before I’ve ever opened it. This shows me the contents in plain text only, and as far as I know does not trigger any server-stored graphics in the mail. Once I read the plain text, sometimes I realize it’s valid and I want the content, so I open the original message. Most often, I delete it without ever opening the original.
FWIW, hope this helps someone...

you'll see a little "click here" link that will let you "opt-out" of their
new method of snooping. I strongly recommend that you do this. Once you have
clicked that link, you are opted out. Notice the "Success" message the top
the next page. Be careful because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out"
button that, if clicked, will *undo** the opt-out. Feel free to forward this
to other groups. Of course, if you don't mind Yahoo recording every website
and every group you visit you should ignore this message.
