[opensuse] "Block images..." in Seamonkey and Thunderbird
Seamonkey recently introduced a setting for the email program, to block images from other sources. It has also been in Thunderbird for a while. I turned this "feature" off, as I find it to be very annoying. However, I cannot find any way to disable it in Thunderbird. Is there a way to turn it off? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You can at least enable showing of images per sender address, but I don't know if there is a global option. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The very first entry in the Personal Address book - shown as ">" - is the global entry. By default it is not set (ie it is not ticked). Tick it if you want to allow remote content from every Tom, Dick and Harry. BC -- The vulgar crowd always is taken by appearances, and the world consists chiefly of the vulgar.

I should have also added, "...and from spammers and porn sites." BC -- The vulgar crowd always is taken by appearances, and the world consists chiefly of the vulgar.

Where do you see that ">" in the Thunderbird address book. When I open it, I see one that's clicked on to show my lists, but that's all it does. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is the very first entry in my Personal Address Book (the other 2 are called addresses and Collected Addresses) and this Personal Address Book comes up when you select either Contacts when reading/writing an e-mail (as I am doing now) or when you click on Addresses when you are about to write an e-mail. I have to add here that I do *not* allow anyone's e-mail - only 1 exception, a broadsheet to which I am subscribed - to display remote text so I don't use this entry. Now that I am having a think about all this, how hard would it be to simply click on the "button" in Thunderbird when it displays "Remote text blocked" or whatever the wording is? As I mentioned in my earlier post, I don't want to see any porno stuff or other crap showing up on my screen when I receive unsolicited mail. And even though I and my ISP have filters set for spam/junk such crap still manages to get thru. So, personally, I prefer to be allowed to select whose remote text/graphics I can see on my screen rather than go about stopping the text/graphics *AFTER* the event. But then, that's me :-) .

Yes, I know that can be done, but it requires adding the sender to an address book. I've even had a separate address book, just for that purpose. However, there's so many addresses in it, that it's interfering with address completion, as all those saved addresses, that I'll never send a message to, are appearing when I start to type an address when composing a message. Between spam filtering and my own ability to recognize suspicious messages & links, I really don't need this. I can turn it off in Seamonkey, but not Thunderbird. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
