You are correct about iOS. On my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, with remote images enabled (by default) it leaks 17 out of 32 categories. With remote images disabled, it leaks 0 out of 32 categories.

In contrast, Outlook for Mac 2011 leaks 2 out of 32 categories (audio and video) with remote images disabled. Mail.app 4.5 leaks 14 out of 32 categories with remote images disabled.

The iPhone used to leak audio and video too, when images were disabled. I bug reported that ages ago and they fixed it after a few months.

Do you intend to file bug reports for Outlook and Mail.app?

EDIT: I just asked somebody who has Mail.app version 5.2 to test with remote images disabled, and it didn't trigger any of the tests.
