GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 249004
I'd like to selectively and automatically view images
Last modified: 2012-02-07 22:17:11 UTC
Most of the time, I do not have evolution load images, since they may be loaded off of remote servers (which says to the spammer, "i read this, or at least i exist, send me more gunk"). However, sometimes I do want to load the images. It would be sweet if there were some UI to teach evolution to load images coming with some mails automatically. Maybe this could be added as a filter action. For example: if sender = Foo and subject = bar, then load images.

This sounds like feature-creep to me.
I always liked Netscape's right click menu for this. Right click -> load this image
I agree, but it's work. And we have these noisy computer things to automate work when possible, right? :)
And deep in the bowels of the machine, there is an option "Only load Images when Sender in Address Book". You should use that, and add people to your address book. :)
Good point, but that doesn't help in these cases: * You receive mail from someone who uses commercial mailing software that uses a slightly different From: each time (this is what prompted me to open the bug) * You receive mail from someone who uses software such as tmda, which can create temporary addresses

(In reply to comment #0) > Maybe this could be added as a filter action. For example: if sender = Foo > and subject = bar, then load images. Evolution 3.2 offers to "Automatically download images in emails from people you know" - see http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-displaying-images-in-html.html Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX as I don't see what else would be realistically useful. Cannot imagine that filtering on the subject would really help.
