Description Dan Berger 2001-07-23 23:19:27 UTC
It would be nice if there was a toolbar button to load images in HTML mail
- the current menu option (in a submenu) is a bit cumbersome.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2001-07-24 01:06:54 UTC
I agree; it would be nice to have this in a right-click menu entry
that only showed up when right clicking on HTML email.
Comment 2 Peter Williams 2001-07-24 19:30:42 UTC
How about moving Load Images out of View -> Message Display and just
putting it under View? 

I guess the right-click menu idea could work... I'm not sure how the
fact that we're in the middle of a GtkHTML affects its implementation.

Or maybe we could add a button in the message header section in HTML
mails? I kind of like that idea.
Comment 3 Dan Berger 2001-07-24 22:32:17 UTC
A button or context menu seems preferable to a shell-level menu option
- it should also have a keyboard shortcut.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2001-08-17 17:53:44 UTC
Related to 3286; probably future at this point.
Comment 5 Luis Villa 2001-08-17 20:24:32 UTC
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to
'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under
the following circumstances:
1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not
have to be changed in any way.)
2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most
likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are
not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should
probably not make any such changes. 
Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to
prioritize our limited resources.

Comment 7 Florin Andrei 2002-06-07 01:59:37 UTC
Is this done yet? The location of the command is totally counterintuitive.
A button in the toolbar, or a right-click option would be much better.

Comment 9 clowater 2002-10-17 16:35:10 UTC
I have also had this problem, and tried the suggestions and they don't
work!  Should it now be our choice to turn on/off embedded images in
emails, regardless if they are spam or not?  Not all embedded images
are spam.  I tried making the menu selection
"VIEW/MESSAGEDISPLAY/LOADIMAGES" and nothing happened.   Embedded
images do not open! Nor can I save them out...
Comment 10 Jeffrey Stedfast 2002-10-17 17:39:07 UTC
well, you might try submitting a new bug (your problem is completely
unrelated to this bug - this bug is a UI issue, yours is a "it doesn't
work" issue)

if you are using 1.0.x, then Load Images might not work in some cases
- namely situations where the HTML mail references images using
relative urls. However, I have implemented support for relative urls
in the development series, so if you are seeing this problem in 1.1.2
then you should open a new bug and attach a sample message
illustrating the broken behaviour.
Comment 11 clowater 2002-10-18 14:16:59 UTC
Hey Jeff - thanks for the sarcasm... I did not post here for fun! ;)

I had submitted this as a bugreport, and it was closed and linked 
to this one by Mark Gordon!?!

so - should I forward you one of the emails I had problems with - 
or reopen my old bug??

Comment 12 Peter A. Goodall 2005-06-17 18:32:49 UTC
Wow... This is a really old bug.  Can we fix this now? ;-)  This became
painfully obvious when I decided I was sick of (and unable to) support Windows
ME on my father's machine, and installed NLD.  When they get html mail they
cannot view the images because they can never rememeber View -> Message -> Load
images.  In Thunderbird they have the [ View Images ] button right there.  A
good start, but it might be more prominent somehow.  We should have a similar
implementation.
Comment 13 Not Zed 2005-06-24 17:25:34 UTC
its moved in 2.3 to the view menu itself, and has a shortcut too.
