The other one I've used before is to set my e-mail client up to use a 
proxy server for HTML e-mail.  I then set the proxy server IP to be 
that of 'localhost'.  This allows me to read the HTML crap, but 
anything else in that e-mail which requires access to an
external server gets redirected to my desktop system.

Of course, wrt HTML mail, now, as Derek stated:
