I wonder who that would be. Mary, I'm happily using Thunderbird here
which has the ability to retrieve images. I haven't had to resist any
force urging me to use the option when I don't wish to. I haven't
resisted any urge that a neophyte would be overcome by.
BTW, if the neophyte is curious about TB! not loading images, they'll
ask us and we'd be the first to tell them to *simply* open the message
in their browser, leaving them at risk, even if we warn them. :)
ThunderBird has this feature since it's a Mozilla component so there's
really no new code to write. TB! would need new functionality
implemented. I'm indifferent either way about it.
To me, this is really no different from the fear of elevators by
staircase users who say that elevators are for those too lazy and that
they can get trapped or hurt in them. True, but is it really a valid
argument for not using elevators?

Don't thank me for insulting you. It was my pleasure...
