HTML emails with indexed images are the #1 tool spammers use to validate email addresses. Sometimes I can't judge whether a message is spam or not until I actually click on it, and this opens up a security hole of allowing the sender to track me. In addition to this major security hole, I find HTML emails annoying. I think it's a horrid, gaping hole in mozilla that you don't give the option of disabling it. It blows my mind that you've let this simple thing go so long even as you have added so many other advanced features. This is a major security issue that should be addressed immediately. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look in the preferences dialog box Actual Results: There is no option to disable HTML emails. Expected Results: The software should have given me an option to disable HTML emails, and then it should have disabled them.
