If you disable "load remote content" in your email client, all spam eventually stops.

  Where you gotten that idea from? Don't think this is true. I've never worked at a company that stopped sending emails because the trackers didn't work, and I haven't had remote content enabled for 15 years and I still get spam. Is it maybe supposed to be a joke? Went past me in that case.

  As someone with this disabled for 15+ years on lots of different accounts/domains/services: this is definitely not the case. It's possible there's less than there would otherwise be (impossible to know), and it's a really good idea to disable either way. Same with read receipts - I'm not sure if they're used for spam, but their mere existence is just obnoxious and rude.
