I try to force email to look like an RFC (e.g. https://www.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.txt) or UseNet posting using GNUS or some other text only mail reader. Getting rid of all the animated images, markup noise, etc. allows me to focus on the pure information in the email. If the images are valuable, I'll open them up but it's surprising not that important most of the time. YMMV.
