This acts as a confirmation that the email address is valid. Merely viewing the email triggers it. Disabling remote image loading would prevent this. As an option, the user could click a "load images" button, just as if he was browsing the 'net with the automatic image loading turned off. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Note that most of it is already implemented ! - in [Preferences -> Privacy & Security], you can prevent the loading of remote images in mail. Embedded images can sil be shown. - we also have the [View -> Message Body As] menu, where you can choose Simple HTML and PlainText mode, but they won't show a full HRML page Bug 28327 is about the fine-tuning of this mechanism : you should be able to use normal HTML-mode, but you can still be sure that you won't accidently click on a link for instance.
