Thomas, thanks for explanation. However please consider several possible cases
today and for this wish.

Case -- "dumb" people. Can they today load external sources? Yes. So where is
security issue? If you split option into two there is no security improvement
(for such case) nor regression.
Case -- total security. Can they block external sources? Yes. Will they block
ext. sources? Yes. No change in security.
Case -- balanced security (on purpose). Impossible to do today. With this wish
I would be able to do this, without sacrifying completely readability and
security.
I see no regression here, but for some users improvement actually.

It would be still possible to do, there is no change.

Unrelated question, but I am curious -- how it is possibl, I mean how long I
read mail? Server sends gif file and...? (note: consider only "static" data)
