If "Show Remote Content" is enabled for a mail, there is no (obvious) way to disable it again.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Display a mail with remote content.
2. Select "Show Remote Content".
3. Close SM and wait (hours, days, ... ;-)
4. Open SM and display same mail again

Actual Results:  
SM tries to reload remote content.
There is no visual clue that this happens.
There is no obvious way to disable it.


Expected Results:  
There should be a "Block Remote Content" button.


It is not desirable to let SM connect to remote server each time the mail is displayed at later time.

Workaround:
Move mail to some temp folder, stop SM and remove temp folder's .msf file.
This clears the "remoteContentPolicy" setting for this mail.
