Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 30888

Hi,

There is no option to do the conversion to text before displaying incomming
emails, currently there is no way to stop html emails and other strange MIME
stuff from being displayed.

I get spam emails with jpgs and other jpgs that I would rather avoid seeing and
avoid being in my cache at all.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.get an html multipart spam email or advert
2.see  it displays, when perhaps you dont want to use up your bandwidth
displaying adverts and other spam
3.

Actual Results:  jpgs and html emails displayed

Expected Results:  I think its essential to have an option to turn off automatic
display of html emails

The conversion to text is done when i click reply, posibly this could be a base
to do the conversion to display..

Great stuff, keep the good work going!
