Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an email containing links to remote images, observe thunderbird's blocking message 2. click "reply" or "forward" 3. Actual Results: image is revealed in message response. Expected Results: good question: "mangled" the image URL so it wouldn't display? deleted the URL from the created reply/forward message? probably the latter. seems that a security feature is being circumvented. i discovered this when i was trying to forward an ebay phishing email to spoof@ebay.com.
