104802 - Enhancement - turn off plug-ins, fetching from web sites

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 28327

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[david.hagood]

It would be nice to, in addtion to the current capability to turn off Javascript
in email, to turn off the following abilities in the Mail viewer:
1) Running any plug-ins (e.g. Shockwave, Real Player, etc.)
2) Fetching any image that isn't in the body of the email (i.e. img
src="http://spammerswebsite/onepixel.gif?youremail"

In other words, it should be possible to tell the mail viewer not to show
anything that didn't come as a part of the email, and not to run any plugins.
This should help prevent spammer's tracking software from seeing you read the
message.

Not loading images from web servers while reading a mail message is bug 28327.
