Make default in Thunderbird 3.03

Post by viking33 »

IS there a way to make "allow remote content" the default when opening email messages?
You apparently can allow it for one particular address but I don't see a way to avoid doing this for all new emails?

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Privacy_basic ... derbird%29

where it says:
Another more dangerous choice is to just display all images from any sender. You can change this setting by opening the Config editor and toggling the preference, mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image to "false", but this is not recommended since it will allow loading of all remote images and spammers will be able to verify your e-mail address, as mentioned earlier.

Ken,
Thanks. Guess I'll have to play it safe and as long as it saves the preferences for each address, after a while it should quiet down.
