Well, the simplest and most effective solution would be to simply cache 
the email contents somewhere and when the images are there post a 
reload request to the KHTMLPart browserextension:)

Otherwise you can:
1) disable autoloading images before constructing any img elements but 
after constructing the document itself with 
m_part->setAutoloadImages( false );
2) when you have all images call m_part->setAutoloadImages( true );
3) call m_part->htmlDocument().updateRendering(); and
m_part->view()->layout(); to relayout the document.
