If you use a POS like Outlook, you don't need to click on anything. Outlook will automatically 
fetch the malicious CSS when you go to read the email.


The cure is to  use an email client  that doesn't fetch external CSS, graphics etc  unless you 
specifically tell it to for an individual email.

Like  Pegasus Mail :-)
