But MH-E provides suitable options: ,----[ v mh-fetch-x-image-url RET ] | mh-fetch-x-image-url is a variable defined in `mh-customize.el'. | Its value is nil | | Documentation: | *Control fetching of "X-Image-URL:" header field image. | | Ths option controls the fetching of the "X-Image-URL:" header field image | with the following values: | | Ask Before Fetching | You are prompted before the image is fetched. MH-E will remember | your reply and will either use the already fetched image the next | time the same URL is encountered or silently skip it if you didn't | fetch it the first time. This is a good setting. | | Never Fetch | Images are never fetched and only displayed if they are already | present in the cache. This is the default. | | There isn't a value of "Always Fetch" for privacy and DOS (denial of | service) reasons. For example, fetching a URL can tip off a spammer | that you've read his email (which is why you shouldn't blindly | answer yes if you've set this option to "Ask Before | Fetching"). Someone may also flood your network and fill your disk | drive by sending a torrent of messages, each specifying a unique URL | to a very large file. | | The cache of images is found in the directory ".mhe-x-image-cache" within | your MH directory. You can add your own face to the "From:" field too. See | Info node `(mh-e)Picture'. | | This setting only has effect if the option `mh-show-use-xface-flag' | is turned on. `---- Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
