I know its late in the day for feature suggestions. with Mozilla 1.0 
just around the corner. but the following are based on my experiences.

Here are 3 possible suggestions for 'killer features' that could 
differentiate Mozilla from the opposition (all email related).

1. Spam avoidance.

A tactic often used by spammers is to send HTML emails that include 
'web-bugs' - images that are dynamically created and unique to the 
email.  This allows recipient mail address validation and, more 
importantly, that the email was 'read'.

Why not differentiate between controlling image downloads in webpages 
and in emails, via the privacy & security preferences?  A more advanced 
implementation would be possible with a toggle images button next to 
each viewed message and an rdf based list of 'senders' whose images are 
trusted.

2. Delete without viewing.

I like to keep my inbox 'clean' but I have not found a way of deleting a 
single message without clicking on it and in doing so viewing it in the 
preview pane.  This previewing then means that the sender of *'see me 
doing XXXX'* knows that my email address is valid and that I read my 
messages :-( [see suggestion 1 above].

How about changing the right click on a message so that you get the 
context menu, allowing you to delete the message, without 'reading' the 
message?

3. Printing scaled images

Many people, when they receive an image by email from the owner of a 
digital camera or find a nice photo on a web page, find that they have 
no way of printing the image so that it is of a suitable size on the 
printed page.  This would be a nice to have feature that could be very 
attractive to less technical users who do not have access to graphics 
packages.

Any reactions?
