--- Comment #1 from Störm Poorun <subs at olan.org> ---

Great. Though it's not clear why the previous bug couldn't be converted to a
'feature request' and re-opened?

That would be preferable given the subscribers and comments are already
associated with that Bug.

When most Users use their email app they do not expect to 

a) view on each email a hideous line which should have stayed in the 1990s,
which a user may not need and can't turn off

b) view a warning box on each email, which can't be turned off (except on each
email individually).
"Note: This HTML message may contain external references to images etc. For
security/privacy reasons external references are not loaded. If you trust the
sender of this message then you can load the external references for this
message by clicking here."

This is an affront to Users a terrible impact on workflow, those dealing with
casual email will find it intrusive enough. Those dealing with thousands of
messages a day do not need that message in a red box taking priority on each
email they read.

There needs to be settings:
a) in the menu (like there was previously) to hide the warnings
b) in the menu to display html
c) in a pop up if a user closes the message, enable them to hide the warnings
in future
d) in a pop up if a users chooses to view .html mail, to permit them to
autodisplay .html mail in future
e) make the toggle bar less intrusive and less abrubt
