I am using Mozilla 1.4a (2003040105) under Windows 2000, and I am also having a
problem with the blocking of remote images in Mail and News.

I have the preference "Do not load remote images in Mail & Newsgroup messages"
checked, yet it is always loading and displaying remote images in my Inbox. I am
not using any type of firewall or non-standard setup.

I think the no-remote-content feature from bug 30888 fixes this problem. The
image blocker alone won't prevent all http requests (which are what's causing
the proxy auth prompt, I assume). Marking as dup.

I think you mean bug 108153. However, bug 28327 would be an even closer match.

hm, this would be a different bug. (I don't see the point of that feature, to
block remote images, but not remote CSS, but ..)

Ben, I agree with you which is why I duped this one. Nor reason to block images
only when what you want is to block all external loads, which is what this bug
seems to be asking for. No big deal either way.
