I'm using Netscape 7.2 and in the Privacy settings you can tell it not to download images from remote websites which means that I don't waste time or risk attracting more spam if someone links a picture into an e-mail.

Frankly I can take them or leave them, but I prefer to leave them!

The only time this causes problems is with the "Daily Dilbert" e-mail cartoon (I have to activate the picture download to see it and then switch it off again after, but that's a small price to pay) and any e-mail newsletters which have embedded graphics, in which case I e-mail the senders and suggest they change their policy or allow "text only" versions.
