Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 568976

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

Every piece of documentation I've seen about this feature has made it sound like it will allow remote content from the e-mail domain (from header.)  In reality it goes off the domain of the URL of the remote content.  This is an absolute pain.  I don't want to add e-mail addresses to an address book.  There are a bunch of domains (ebay, netflix, amazon, newegg, et al.) that have different actual senders even though the domain is the same.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. about:config, add a single domain to mail.trusteddomains to test.
2. Restart
3. Open a message from added domain
Actual Results:  
None.

Expected Results:  
Example: I want it to behave in a way that if I type in "netflix.com" it will show images for both the receiving and shipping e-mail addresses from netflix.  This is explained everywhere (and from what I understand, intended) to use the From: header.

If I view the source of a message with multiple images and choose one domain to add, it will display images only from that domain.

According to http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?find=%2F&string=mail.trusteddomains we don't use that pref at all anymore.


Mark shall I create a cleanup patch (or did I miss something) ?

On that search I see that its used in both nsMsgContentPolicy and nsSpamSettings.

I suspect that the pref is doing what was intended and this bug is probably a duplicate/dependency of some other bug on improving the remote content settings.
