Every email gets flagged as “opened,” so the flag is meaningless, and recipients can see the images without triggering a tracker.
The company also ran a mail filter called Baracuda or something similar that followed links in emails to see if they were malicious.
I was quite annoyed when I was called to do the mandatory training as "I" had clicked a link (on an email I hadn't seen) and more so when told I had no other recourse than to sit through it.
I resigned shortly afterwards.
I’m not sure if Exchange Online doesn’t scan them or something, but I landed up making a rule which blocks all emails with either .svg or .htm(l) attachments and to notify me when blocked.
Happens a couple of times per month for the our small company, no false positives yet.

I am trying to read as less _online_ as possible nowadays. I essentially have dovecot in my crontab, and read it off roundcube. It's been working great, RoundCube is dead simple to setup and use, the UI and search are very fast.
