It needs a bit more work to manage the queue length.  If you enter
the terrytao group and select the first message, the queue will grow to
800 entries, I think.  And the queue is handled sequentially.  So if you
exit the group, url-queue will continue to fetch all the images, which
may not be what you want, because you won't be able to see any other
images in other groups until it's finished.

But I was unsure what to do about it.  Hm...  perhaps just setting
`url-queue' to nil on group exit is sufficient?  But there should
probably also be an interactive `M-x url-queue-stop' command to allow
the user to do this themselves...
