Email was invented to be plain-text only. Do you remember the heaty discussions when MIME-attachments were introduced? Now we all use them, you sign your messages with PGP/MIME, screenshots arrive on TBOT, and documents as attachments to email have become a necessity in the office. It is called progress. HTML newsletters are the norm, this has nothing to do with comic books. I gave the example of the Lufthansa newsletter for mileage card members earlier. They are well designed and hey, they are a marketing tool so it is not the plain information but also the presentation that counts. If you yourself prefer double-clicking on the attachment icon (don't see how that improves security, though), you won't need to whitelist that newsletter. I have wants and needs different from yours, and someone mentioned that in his work, reading the HTML mail as intended is a need and not merely a want for him. And no, nobody wants to assign a higher priority to this than to bug-fixing, especially IMAP support. We are only trying to get to a consensus for the future, as you were so proud that TB does not support downloading the images and many people here see that as a disadvantage rather than the reason to buy TB in the first place. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas.
