Here's a hint to help keep from being tracked by spam email:

Turn off the auto-loading of images in your emails. When you open an image in email, the image isn't in the email per se, but it is HTML that reaches out to a server to retrieve the picture. When it does, it can pass along to the server the email address of the email making the request. By doing so, the spammers now know that they have a valid email address.
