How to stop pixel tracking mail

I use a Macbook Pro macOS Catalina 10.15.07 and only use Apple software such as pages, numbers, mail v13.4 ....

How do I block all mails which have a pixel tracker inside them please? I was not aware that pixel trackers existed but thanks to BBC coverage, now that I am aware I want to block all mails with pixel trackers.

Does Safari's no tracking extend to Mail.app? If there are tracking gifs hidden in an email, how could one expect to block those? I've scoured the App Store and see nothing offered for MacOS Mail. I'm hoping that any settings in Safari (and potentially any ad-blocking extensions installed) would also prevent those insidious ad tracking gifs from working. But I really have not clue. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Remove Top Hits from Mac Mail High Sierra I want to remove remove the "Top Hits" from the email inbox view - it is annoying and unproductive option for me. How do I delete this option so I get a clean list of inbound emails in my inbox? Whoever decided that this was an awesome feature need only look at what the community is saying about it. I want it removed and Apple is not giving me a choice - Suddenly Apple no longer listens to it's users? Veteran users think otherwise - make this an option - not a dictatorship.

Does blocking “Remote Content” in the Mail App create make-shift Private Browsing e-mail? I recently received an email from DuckDuckGo about them introducing email accounts to act as a gatekeeper for emails, removing trackers then forwarding to your preferred email address. They market this as Private Email. I have my Mail App preferences set to not load any remote content. Would something like a tracker built into an email message be “remote content” and therefore not loaded or tracking my activity? The preference section just says “images or content” I am already using mailbox aliases to hide my actual email address and last name. Thank you. P.S. Sorry if this would have been better in the iCloud for Mac Community.
