Try the K9 Mail client. It's less brain dead than others! I found it when I was concerned about html mail beacons auto-displaying, and thus confirming that that email address is genuine. Unfortunately, I can't find the website that pointed this out. I checked the default Android client and it auto-opened images and that couldn't be disabled. I hunted around and found K9 which can disable auto-displaying images. K9 is also quite configurable. Perhaps you should give it a go!
I would if it worked - but unfortunately K9 is irredeemably broken for my use case. I have self signed X509 certs on my mailserver (I use IMAPS and POP3S with dovecot). K9 doesn't like this. If I send an email I have to first get the certificate and OK it. I can then send, and send and send - but I cannot receive. If then re-get the certificate for receiving I can receive, and receive and receive. But I cannot then send without going through the whole silly rigmarole all over again.
Otherise I agree. Much better email client.
