Any MUA that does not embed IE in order to display HTML will be safe.
I know Pegasus Mail (which I use) falls into this category. It renders
HTML with no ability to understand (or execute) scripting or embed
objects, and won't retrieve anything because of a "src=" tag (although
it will display attached images if you choose using a built-in
renderer).
