If you like this approach and are using Mail.app on OSX then I recommend the following:

First...

1. In the menu, go: Mail > Preferences > Viewing.

2. Uncheck "Load remote content in messages".

3. Move to the "Composing" tab.

4. Select "Plain Text" for Message Format.

5. Uncheck "Use the same message format as the original message".

Second...

In Terminal, copy/paste this command to set plain-text preference to true:

  defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool true
Its not perfect, but short of switching to another email client, its a step in the right direction.
