The reporter over there said that their messages are synchronised for offline use, bug 1577683 comment #45.

So this is another variation on bug 1572864.

Magnus, take a look here. Looks like there are other cases where the conversion to a data: URL hasn't worked.

Related to bug 1575330. We can surely get rid of those URLs, bug I'd like to understand what's going on, that is, why the imap URLs aren't changed to a data URL.

I received a sample e-mail from Mr. Spitznagel. It had <img> elements with imap: URLs in a signature which was in a quote. This message was from June 2019.

So the message was produced before bug 1572864 which was reported and fixed in August 2019: It's likeky that the original message was received correctly, in the reply the images with imap: URLs remained due to that bug.

Of course defective messages will rest in people's mailboxes forever. We need to see whether new cases occur now.
