Web Content Filter Catching Non-Browser Traffic

Hello,
My firewall's Web Content Filter is catching traffic that appears to be generated by simply opening emails (NOT clicking any links). It does not coincide with any browser activity. I didn't know this was even possible. Is there a way to pinpoint which emails are doing this?
I'm a novice working toward my CompTIA A+, so elementary explanations are appreciated! Thanks

One particular offending workstation has had problems with embedded links on Phishing Tests in the past and I'm 99% sure the user hasn't been doing anything except opening the email.If anyone has encountered anything like this before, I would love to hear about your experience.
