This doesn't affect emails with pictures embedded in them.  It only
affects html messages with external images which are not part of the
message.  So all those pretty mails from the art department render quite
nicely!

So i always have it turned off and all i really miss out on is spam
costing me even more money to view, and the occasional forwarded web
page for which the graphics are usually not required anyway.

As for the original problem, we're using gnome-vfs, which seems to have
a whole host of threading bugs (or maybe we're using it wrong - i mean,
how could you expect a multithreaded library to actually function in a
multithreaded application), which often causes hangs.  e.g.
