User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 The "block loading of remote images in mail messages" feature is quite handy, but quickly gets annoying when receiving messages from say, a mailing list. I would like an option to "unblock images from sender." I realize that I could put the sender in my address book, but that doesn't really make sense for mailing lists, html newsletters, etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive an email with remote images. 2. Click 'Show Images' button to reveal the images. 3. Receive another email from the previous sender. 4. Still have to click 'Show Images' button again to reveal the images.
Suggestion: Add an item to the menu that appears when you click on the sender name (allows you to add to address book, create filter, etc.). The new item would be 'Allow Images From Sender'. The necessary information could probably be stored in a hidden address book. Currently, I've created an 'Approved for Images' address book and use the 'Add to Address Book' option. The problem is that the 'Personal' address book always shows as the default.

I agree and think this would be a great solution. Or at the very least allow us to choose multiple address books for the no-image-blocking so that we can keep newsletters, etc. separate from addressees we actually want to send messages to.
