135298 - Option to block external files in HTML mail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 28327

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Kevin Chen]

A lot of junk mail contains web bugs, either images, Javascript, or other stuff.  

An option that would allow users to block the loading of all files not attached
to the e-mail would be helpful.  Users could then click a button (similar to how
Netscape 4.x handles web pages when images are turned off) to turn on the
images/Javascript/etc. for a specific message that they know isn't spam.

Right now, when I receive obvious junk mail, I have to go to preferences to turn
images off, open and delete the mail message, and then re-enable images.  (I
already turned off Javascript for mail.)

Of course, external links (that a user clicks on manually) should still be
permitted.

If that isn't possible (or even if it is), it would also be helpful to have an
option to disable HTML mail.
