Must be an IE thing. I don't get it in Firefox.

It is possible to insert a very small image that is hosted on another site into the post. That external site can then record the number of times the image is accessed, and possibly more information from the pulling client.

It's kind of like the old physical 'tracking bugs' spies used during the cold war -- thus, 'web bugs' or 'email bugs'.
