Mail.app responding to spam images

[antdgar]

Mail.app by default contacts spam servers. How can I stop this?

This is what I mean:
Mail.app displays spam mail (not detected as junk). I open the email which contains the spam email and image. Mail.app contacts the server and pulls the image automatically.

I realised that these are usually custom image URLs which contain an identifier for my email address. So now they know I exist, damn!!

I only found this out because I installed a third party firewall on my macbook. And mail.app started to contact the spam servers for images.

How can I stop all images and html in a message from being loaded automatically?

Mail Preferences -> Viewing -> Display remote images in HTML messages

That should relieve the problem. If you get an email you want to see the images in, there will be a button at the top of the message you can click once to see all of the associated images.
