Yeah. A good technical argument rather than all the other
philosophical and hyped ones that I had seen until then.
OTOH, one wonders, why implement anything at all then if we look at it
in that depressingly unsurmountable all-or-none fashion. The original
request was about retrieving images on a per message basis with the
ability to configure such behaviour. Now it has gone into TB! being
able to render and display everything a browser can, now, and for the
future.
I certainly consider both different.
I don't care much for image retrieval personally. I'd sure wish IMAP
to work first before such things are implemented. If it is, and is
configurable, I'd be indifferent. I doubt it will be though. At least
not for the foreseeable future. Most clients with very good HTML mail
displaying capabilities either use the IE rendering engine or are part
of an established browser, i.e., Operamail or Mozilla/ThunderBird.
