The css part of this "exploit" is actively used by Intellicontact (or 
whatever they call themselves this week), the host of the factcheck.org 
mailing list.  For example:

<LINK href=http://mail1.icptrack.com/track/relay.php?r=###&msgid=
=###&act=####&admin=0&destination=http://www.factcheck.org/styles/subpage_nn.css 
type=text/css rel=stylesheet>

To work around this, set:

user_pref("mailnews.display.html_as", 3);

and

user_pref("mailnews.display.html_sanitizer.allowed_tags", "html head 
title body p br div(lang,title) h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 ul(type,compact) 
ol(type,compact,start) li(type,value) dl dt dd blockquote(type,cite) pre 
noscript noframes strong em sub sup span(lang,title) acronym(title) 
abbr(title) del(title,cite,datetime) ins(title,cite,datetime) q(cite) 
a(href,name,title) base(href) area(alt) applet(alt) object(alt) var samp 
dfn address kbd code cite s strike tt b i table(align) caption 
tr(align,valign) td(rowspan,colspan,align,valign) 
th(rowspan,colspan,align,valign)");
(one line)

in prefs.js.

works around the css problem because link isn't an allowed html tag.  I 
didn't test your iframe version, but I suspect this will work around 
that as well.
