Details
If you get an email in HTML format there could be images from the internet included (by a <img src="http://www.foo.bar/image.gif"> tag). Sometimes spammers are using this feature to talkback to their server and tell them the adresse the spam mail was sent to (by a <img src="http://www.foo.bar/image.php?hsi@gmx.net"> tag). Same could be by including a webpage. A possibility to prevent that mails to talkback would be the feature to disable opening "http://"-information by HTML mails. This could be added in the prefereces dialog as the "advanced -> script and windows" functionality in mozilla browser currently works.

You should try the RC1 get it's done. Ben Bucksch has added new preferences to disable some tags in html mails. But anyway, this bug is a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28327 ***
