Pretty stupid that Yahoo uses a linked image to show a smiley. Having
to disable the block linked image option in OE means that any spammer
that includes a web beacon can determine that they reached your active
e-mail account.

I concur. The good news is: the security option can disabled after
the message is received. So you can disable it only when you want to
read safe messages, then re-enable the option. Tedious, I know, too
tedious and "sophisticated" for my computer-illiterate mother, for
example. But doable.
