* I hardly consider a gif on a website spyware, considering that the rest of the webpage contains gifs that would return just the same information and * Thats with email, not web. With web, you request a page which contains images. With email, you request a piece of email. If the email manages to escape its little email sandbox, thats the fault of the people who wrote the client. "spyware" is the wrong term here. "improving client access times" and "decreasing bandwidth requirements" are the right terms here..
