Re: Usenet image display

That "fixes" the problem for me, but does not really address the issue.

If we set aside any technical discussion of whether usenet messages are
email or not, there's still the pragmatic issue. OE distinguishes between
mail accounts and news accounts, but this feature does not, as far as I can
tell. I don't want to disable this blocking for email, but do for news. At
least I want to allow images (not "other external content") in news, but
want to be protected from beacons. I can't see how to do that.

Another problem is that this feature is very misleading. I thought that I
was protected, but when I went to forward a piece of spam to somebody, the
images all came up as soon as OE opened the window with the forwarded
message. In the past, I would have switched to offline mode before opening
the original, or attempting to forward it, but this time I got zapped.

Is there any way to truly block images in HTML email? Is there any way to
allow them in Usenet, short of allowing them in email also?
