That comment prompted me to fire up the new 8.1.1 version of the reader, after 
starting a tcpdump session just to see what traffic it might generate.  I 
opened a local file for display and paged through it some, and not a single 
byte went out to the network from my machine that wasn't related to fetchmail 
and spamassassin activity. Over a period of several minutes.

So I believe that comment to be unfounded paranoia.
