The way it is now, a messages is displayed as soon as I select

Thanks for a detailed overview, your use case makes sense. I've made a change
[1] which will prevent loading a message (and marking it as read) when the
message pane is collapsed away.
yeah. that is something that I've wanted/needed for quite a while. I even tried
to define a new layout without the message window there at all, but got stuck.
I'm not sure whether adding a checkbox which will enable loading of remote
images all the time is the way to go. Perhaps an option for specifying the
whitelisted domains makes more sense? Or is the granularity of domains a
wrong one here? I'd like to hear opinions, both from you and from other
people on the list.
I think it really depends on your workflow.
If you have the message pane opening your messages just because you touched them
(for example, you want to delete them), then you definantly should NOT want it
to do anything automatically.
However, some people want to do silly things :-(
But if you don't have the message pane there, and messages only open if you have
specifically told them to open, I think it's a reasonable option to say that you
want to see all the images
Some people may want to whitelist/blacklist domains, but I think that you should
start with the straightforward enable/disable option.
I could also see wanting to have this option on a per-folder basis (for example,
even if I normally open the images, I don't want to do so when looking in my
spam filter)
