Re: [Geary] Always show remote images

[Niels De Graef <nielsdegraef gmail com>]

Hi Mirko,

This has been discussed before on our mailing list (See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/geary-list/2016-January/thread.html ). Note that our bug tracker is on bugzilla.gnome.org and that there's also a bug concerning this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714554. Over there, you will see that this has not been implemented.

That being said, I agree with Michael's reply on the mailing list that this would be a *very* insecure feature. Personally, I think we should never implement this. Even Thunderbird which was mentioned in the bug hides the preference away in an obscure setting and discourages it firmly (source: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Privacy_basics_%28Thunderbird%29).

Hopefully, this reply satisfies your question.

Kind regards, Niels De Graef

Hi,

i started to use geary as mail client. It is very good client: so simple and wonderful interface.

Reading some old posts about the possibility to always show remote images (https://bugs.launchpad.net/geary/+bug/1080856), it seems option has just been added, but i can not see it in the "preference" menu.

I'm using version: 0.10.0-1ubuntu1.

What can i do to avoid pressing button "show images" each time i open new mail?

Thanks in advance

Mirko
