I currently have blocked "remove images in mail" and not my Mail Start Page
doesn't  show since it a cartoon.
The pref "mailnews.start_page.url" should not be influenced by
"mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image"

Images in mail start page are still blocked in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/2002101612

Please dont add comments like that. We all know that it doesn't work...:)

The blocking seems to be done via:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/cookie/nsImgManager.cpp#128

where:
appType == nsIDocShell::APP_TYPE_MAIL

Perhaps it's possible to check it this from the message start up page and not
from  a mail?

Mass reassigning of Image manager bugs to [e-mail], and futuring.
Most of these bugs are enhancement requests or are otherwise low priority at
this time.

Note that the default mail start image is now in chrome and isn't blocked.

Non-default images will still be blocked. I agree that they shoudln't, but this
is pretty low priority.

I'm not sure what this is doing in Core/Image Blocking, moving across to MailNews.

However, Thunderbird is currently using remote images in its remote start page and there are no issues with loading them (the default for mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image is true), so marking as WFM.
