No, not yet -- as I said, it should be made optional, and I need options for the feeds and all that. There's one good thing about QTextView's inability to show images from remote urls, and that's that it saves on traffic, though :-).

But I still wanted the patch out for comments. It's not polished yet: the html could be better styled, the feed urls taken from a config file and the whole pane could be made optional.
