Yes, these are all possible scenarios; I was simplifying stuff a bit. In
|
|
spite of these, I think that there is some merit in having an opt-in basis
|
|
for making this per-message settings permanent, and making this work across
|
|
different MUAs sounds reasonable to me.
|
|
|
|
Trojita is periodically getting requests for making it load everything
|
|
automatically. We are not going to do that, and we're also still opposing
|
|
even a settings option for users to opt-in into that very insecure
|
|
behavior. I hope that remembering these settings on a per-message basis is
|
|
a reasonable middle ground.
|
|
|
|
The alternative to that is implementing this feature with a MUA-specific
|
|
flag, which sounds like a worst scenario to me.
|
|
|
|
Are some other client developers interested in this?
|
|
|
|
With kind regards,
