[ILUG] sanitize/disable image loading

[( Admin ) bryan]

Ok here comes the shameless Thunderbird plug ...

Thunderbird does come with a spellchecker.

I have to say I have *never* *ever* been a fan of Mozilla products until 
after 4 years
they finally produced Thunderbird and Firefox.

Thunderbird also has the block images loading from the internet feature 
but I
don't have much confidence in users ( or time ) to do client side 
configuration.

Another great feature of Thunderbird is it's built in Spam filtering 
capabilities .
