Thanks, I was going to look into the handling of "cid:"; (and "file:"
URLs for those operating in shared storage environments) first.  I
like the idea of a black/white list as well and would prefer to be
able to configure that part.  I too am no fan of spam and spammers
and don't want to do anything that would provide them any form of
positive feedback on their mailings.  I expect that most of us
would have filtered those messages before betting down to display
them but better to err on the side of caution.
