If your email application shows the subject, it means it must open the
email to find it.  Usually it only reads the header, but it may do more.
E.g., if it displays an icon to indicate there is an attachment it reads
the whole message.  If there is a bug in parsing the e-mail potentially
this could already do harm.

Best solution still is to leave your computer switched off.
