Finally some confusion. I started to believe I know
everything :)

email-tracking, web-bugs, "images", fetching by
default...?

I don't think anything should be fetched by default.
URLs of course shouldn't be followed implicitly. That
would be total chaos: a very exploitable thing indeed.

Only thing should happen is displaying the text
without executing anything. Attached files should be
stored but, again, never executed.
