User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 Build ID: 20160606114238 Steps to reproduce: This is not a bug report, this is a feature request. Here is the scenario: - I receive an email with many tiny and not so tiny images embedded in it, for example in the signature (phone icon, mail icon, company logo, etc.) - I reply the mail - I want to get rid of the images for two reasons: a) to avoid wasting bandwidth, some company logos are dozens of kilobytes huge and b) because of Bug #532395 (never ending "attaching..." message). For this, I have to click each image and delete them one by one. This is time consuming and sometimes it is hard to identify where the remaining image is if they are transparent or they resemble a letter. Expected results: I would like to have a button in the toolbar with "Remove embedded images" functionality. If I press it then all icons and other images should be removed from the mail body. This would help a lot in my every day usage and would make it easier to live together with Bug #532395.
Woudn't it be better to just fix bug 532395?
