SUMMARY I've been using Thunderbird for the last couple of years and now I'm giving KMail another chance (I left because it was broken wit gmail and with many memory leaks). One thing that I really find useful in Thunderbird is the ability of only allowing specific external sources when there are multiple in an email. So for example I can enable "assets.domain.com", but not "track.domain.com" or "foo.evilcompany.com". I find this super important for privacy reasons but still allowing to accessing emails and their images. Would it be possible to add it to KMail as well?
Hi, Is it a specific plugin in thunderbird ? How do you specify theses domain etc. It can be useful indeed. Regards

(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #2) > Ok I found it > https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remote-content-in-messages Yes, this is exactly the feature I was referring to. One thing to note is that when you click on those entries to allow them, that's saved for future (/past/other) emails as well. So if for example you enable images from assets.kde.org in 1 email, then all emails will allow that url as well (with the "edit remote content preferences" option to remove it if needed/clicked by mistake)
