86406 - Stop viewing of html-messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69529

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Ola Thoresen]

It would be great if it was possible to turn off rendering of html in
mail/news-messages.
Not just when composing/sending, but also when viewing a received mail.

Maybe this should even be done in two "steps".
Turn off html, which shows plain text instead of the html-message, and 
Turn off all html, which also turns of the "show urls as links" and so on.

With a few checkboxes in the top of the message window, one could easily turn
off this for instance if you want to mark a link, without triggering the opening
of a browserwindow or a new message

I'd like to see this feature since I often want to delete a junk e-mail but fear 
that loading it (if it's HTML) will bounce back to the server and tell them my 
ID.  My current workaround is to try to find a message that I can also delete and 
use command-click to select the multiple messages and then delete both.  
Unfortunately I don't keep extra messages to be deleted in my inbox.

Is this a duplicate RFE?

Thank you anyway.  Hope this gets into the code.
