I hadn't thought of that, but I do now see that as a reason to turn it off 
entirely for any messaging application.  You're right, it wouldn't be too hard 
to marry wildcard DNS with specially-crafted tracking links to know when the 
user has viewed the message (which is why many messaging applications disable 
remote image fetching by default).
