A glaring example of this is the Thunderbird prompt as to whether images
should be displayed. A "learn" function (e.g., "Always display e-mail
images from this sender?") would be wonderful. Instead, everyday I have
to click "Display images" in order to read my "Daily Dilbert" as well
as
several other e-mails.
There are other examples but this is a case where the developers
blatantly ignore how most people use a particular program.
A quick fix for this is to put the sender in your address book, and
then enable "Allow remote images if the sender is in my Personal
Address Book" in
Preferences --> Privacy --> General. (The same tab that has the
check box to block loading of remote images.)
