KMail from KDE 3.0 (and possibly earlier versions) has a web bug blocker.  See 
Settings > Configure KMail..., Security settings, General tab.  "Allow mails 
to load external references from the net" is disabled by default.  The pop-up 
help for that control gives a little information about web bugs.
