User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031205) I normally set the advanced preference for "Block loading of remote images in mail messages". It would be really useful to have a way to override this when viewing a message so that all of the images in the message get displayed for that message. This would allow me to keep all images blocked but still view the few messages I get that require them in a meaningful way. IE: Spammers don't get to confirm my email address, but I can still read my monthly Comcast statement. For bonus points, it would be even nicer to have an 'always display images from this server' option. PS: As far as I can tell, the only way to view the images in a message is to change the global preference and change it back. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Block loading images 2. Receive an email that tries to load remote images 3. How do you view the images? Actual Results: Step 3 doesn't happen. Expected Results: Have some option that can temporarily override the global preferences for a single email.
Similar bag was reported long time ago for Mozilla trank: RFE 'Show images'[button] on toolbar http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61710 which considered as blocked by "Load Images" command not available (show images after page loads) http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57505 May be the better work around (to avoid this blockage to go through black/white listing (exeptions lists, conditions something similar), which does not solve this problem but may provide partial solution, by something also needed...
