Is there any means of blocking MSGTAG from sending notifications when I open an email containing this?
I resent another individual taking over my computer in that way.

Can you post up the message source of a tagged e-mail (with e-mail addresses and content removed). Its the code of the MSGTAG header that is of interest.

Quote from: http The following methods all allow you to read a message without triggering the MSGTAG tag:
* a text-only mail client (hardly anybody uses these)
* a mail client that enables the user to block external HTML images (these are becoming more popular as a countermeasure to spammers using 1x1 images to verify email addresses)
* a firewall that stops the email client from requesting the MSGTAG image from the MSGTAG web server
* a spam filter like Mailwasher that enables the recipient to preview the message on their mail server without downloading it into their HTML mail client. N.B. Mailwasher is a product of Firetrust, a client of eCOSM, who developed MSGTAG for Fisher Young Group. In case you're wondering, Mailwasher came first and this shouldn't be construed as 'selling both the disease and the cure'.
The simplest way for a recipient to block MSGTAG tags is to set their mail client to block external HTML images when they read their emails. This means they will be missing out on a lot of images in email newsletters, but it's probably a small price to pay.
Or add;
0.0.0.0 img.msgtag.comto your `hosts` file.

Many thanks.
In fact, I do block external HTML messages, but the email still stated that a read receipt had been sent.
