* 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..
