256839 - Privacy issue: remote iframe cannot be blocked

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 28327

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Tobby]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

The privacy settings dont allow blocking of all remote content as they do with
images, but this involves the exact same kinds of privacy issue that remote
image do. Anyone can then logs your reading of an html formatted email, ip
adress, time of access, user agent, refere and so on.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an html message with code like <IfraMe/width=1 height=1
Src=http://microcephale.free.fr/mail/addlog.php?ref=xxxxxx&check=iFr4m3
frameborder=0 STYLE="width: 0; height: 0px; border:0px"></IfraMe>
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
With privacy settings at max, thunderbird still request that php script
everytime the message is displaying, no way to block downloading of that remote
content.

Expected Results:  
Ability to block ALL remote content, not only image, but external sound
ressources, background image AND iframe, separately or globaly.

IMHO a duplicate of bug 28327 (and see Bug 243306 too for images through iframes).
