The HTML mail specifies the background picture in the body tag as <body background="">whatever the attachment segment number is">. Because Entourage renders that as simple HTML, it will appear regardless of whether the option to display complex HTML is turned on or off. If the background image were referenced using CSS, that would be handled by the complex HTML engine. I'd imagine that's less likely in most cases.

They are not images read with HTML tags; they are attached files. Those always get displayed, I believe.
I'm guessing you all are aware that Entourage (X at least, don't know about 2001) has the option to "Remove Background Picture" under the message window. Using GUI scripting, I suppose you could create an AppleScript that would create a reply and press that menu item automatically. That might be easier than the other method.
