Unfortunately, that's just not always realistic.  I agree, almost always, those 
images are completely unnecessary (even from legit senders) but I seem to 
frequently get emails where the entire message is embedded in the image.

Really?  From my experiences, it's either dumb spam, or the image is embedded into a 
<a href=…> container to redirect you to an infected web site or even 
immediately download malware if you click on it.  Putting the message text into an 
image prevents the security scanners' text analysis heuristics from detecting it 
(that's why Spamassassin's HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_XX rules exist).

Anyway, balsa (and other mua's) let *you* choose: if you are /really sure/ you 
want to load the image, just click the button…

I tried again just prior to your commit, and I get instead:

lbh_navigation_policy_decision uri about:blank, type 5, used

Hmmm, this indicates that the second approach (the “if (g_ascii_strcasecmp(uri, 
"about:blank") != 0)…” variant) may fix your issue, /without/ removing the 
EFail mitigation.

which would have been printed by .._TYPE_OTHER or ..._TYPE_RELOAD, which still 
doesn't make much sense to me.

Yes, agree.

Out of curiosity - clicking WHERE would trigger the 
WEBKIT_NAVIGATION_TYPE_LINK_CLICKED ?  Would that be clicking some link withing 
the displayed content?

Yes.  At least for the current git version, it is displayed when you click on a 
link in the message (which in turn opens the browser).

Also, I'm using webkit-gtk 2.18.6, and have been for at least several months.  
It's currently the only version available on Gentoo, so I'll have to check 
their forums/bugsystem to see if there is any move to upgrade.

I see.  Debian stretch also comes with 2.18.6, I'll install a vm with it and 
try if I can reproduce the issue, stay tuned.

Best
Albrecht.
