It seems reasonable to me to standardize a flag for this purpose, even if
|
|
many clients prefer to keep the setting local-only. Thunderbird uses a
|
|
per-message "remoteContentPolicy" property that is persisted locally in the
|
|
msf files but never persisted to IMAP servers. Once set, it allows
|
|
external images for the specific messages to be fetched going forward.
|
|
(Some information leakage will be suppressed on repeated viewings because
|
|
of the network cache, but the images/etc. are likely to be rotated out.)
|
|
|
|
Note: I no longer actively contribute to Thunderbird, so if anyone is going
|
|
to change things to use the flag it won't be me. I work on the Firefox OS
|
|
email app, and we currently have no plans to persist "show extenal images"
|
|
on a per message basis, but if we did, we would use the proposed flag since
|
|
we would synchronize the flag to the server when possible.
