You are at least asked! I think Firefox does the same.

I noticed that thunderbird (v68) displays 

  https://live.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/start?locale=en-US&version=68.11.0&channel=default&os=Linux&buildid=20200721201500

which of course gives them a heads up to the fact you have fired up 
thunderbird, and some extra info. - version, locale, OS, build and maybe 
(I assume) that it a debian build. I'd prefer to be asked before loading 
and displaying something from outside my box.

In preferences I didn't find anything to stop html emails loading remote 
content - the main way of tracking if you've read that commercial email 
you received. However, it appears that thunderbird does do the right thing there see

  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remote-content-in-messages

"Remote Content in Messages

Email messages can contain remote content such as images or stylesheets. 
To protect your privacy, Thunderbird does not load remote content 
automatically, but instead shows a notification bar to indicate that it 
blocked remote content."

Thanks for making me look more at thunderbird; but I'll stick to my
text only MUA.
