I have absolutely no problem reading HTML newsletters and email in

I often do, because I have remote images disabled to protect my privacy.
And the trend is to track readership by using web beacons and hiding
links behind redirects via a tracking service such as Constant Contact,
Salsa Labs, etc.
IIRC, the only way that remote images can present a problem is by the
use of an embedded javascript routine in the image url. JS is disabled
by default in TB.
I'm not worried about getting malware. I disable remote images,
including web beacons and the like, so nobody knows whether or when I
opened the message. I don't want them compiling a dossier of my tastes,
sending custom-tailored spam, and selling the info to other spammers.
These people are the scourge of the Internet, and I'd rather read a
crippled message from a company I like than lift one little finger to
help them.
