There's still an "Ask before displaying external images" setting, and based on the description in the article, it looks like images are only requested when the email is opened, not when it is delivered to the inbox. But, this new system looks to be enabled by default, so more people will have images enabled, which means the web bugs will mostly get through now.

I believe they still have an "Ask before displaying external images" setting.

To clarify, it's bad for marketing people, but good for users desiring privacy.
