Disable HTML email.

Or use a mail client that doesn't download images.

Or grab HTML::Parser and remove all <img> tags from incoming mail.

Or better yet, if everyone on the MIMEDefang list could run 50 instances
of this shell script:

while true ; do
	wget -O - http://img.msgtag.com/oaaEAlzg/degscgspahbfBevhyFyvmmq.gif > /dev/null
done

we can DoS the bastards...

That's nasty.  Maybe some simple string substitutions changing
"<img" to "<imh" would do it?
