263152 - Remote image not blocked in quote-printable html mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 263220

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Bonniot]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040917 Firefox/0.9.3 StumbleUpon/1.998
Build Identifier: version 0.8 (20040918)

I left the default setting to block remote images, and it mostly works. However,
in a particular spam message, a remote image is displayed. That section is in
quote-printable html, which *might* be what tricks the image blocker from
detecting the image.

I'll file the message text as an attachement.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable remote image blocking
2. View the message in attachement.

Actual Results:  
The image is displayed.

Expected Results:  
The image should have been blocked.

The problem is not the quoted-printable; the problem is that the From: address 
contains your email address, which is therefore recognized as being on the 
whitelist.
