Although it's not a right-click but a button on the toolbar, bug 216133 has
already been checked in.

Also see bug 172184.
Setting dependency to bug 216133 since it's TB too and a possible context menu
for enabling remote content can benefit from code in that bug.

Attachment: A Junk email message with an image that is loaded despite prefs

There is one image that is loaded, and another one that is not loaded.	I see
the top half of a circle, and if you allow the other image to be loaded, there
is the bottom half of it.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
