This is why I (and many others) routinely disable display of HTML
messages.

All it tells them is that you opened the email, and when. Not too much
of a problem in this case, but if it had been spam, you just told the
spammer that your address is valid.

An HTML-only message sent to me will generally be discarded unread.
