DNS sinkhole like Pi-hole or similar is another way to cover your whole network, and makes updates to block lists easier, as well as custom allow/block list entries if needed.
I run mine inside a docker container on a Raspberry Pi 4 along with a few other containers, works a treat!

Thunderbird also supports that (image blocking) and javascript/cookie blocking which you should also activate.
Same thing goes for the browser.
Personally, I only activate some cookies/javascript for sites I (maybe naively) trust.
On some sites, having javascript blocked is even an improvement since you can read all the text, although unformatted, while with it active you get a lot of images/videos/advertising that, besides slowing everything down to a crawl, prevent you from reading until you accept their cookies or sign up.

As Daniel suggested simply set your email client to show plain text and just ignore the HTML gibberish that pops up.

It only works because the senders are using white tracking pixels.
Do an invisible tracking pixel (aka a png with zero alpha channel) I strongly suspect light or dark mode, you won't see the tracking pixel.
The safest way is to simply block all images from downloading without permission, and then assume that if you give the images permission to download, then the other side knows you've read the email.

That would only work if the pixels are not transparent. A transparent 1 pixel gif or png would not be noticeable against any background regardless of its color.

You just made me think of a billboard that I used to pass on my way to a favorite fishing destination.

Yes, it was real.

Yes, it was real.
Just the billboard, or the product as well. Seeing something like that IRL would have me fighting a major battle with my inner 10 year old over if I should utterly destroy a public toilet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
