[kmail] Allow External Resources From <site>

[Jonathan Anderson]

Binary package hint: kdepim

Currently, there are two ways to allow external images to load by default:

1. Allow for *all* e-mail (very unwise)
2. Filter all "safe" e-mail to a folder, enable external references for e-mails in that folder (very annoying)

I'd like to have a whitelist of sites that are deemed safe to load external resources from. That way, if an e-mail has an href to something from comics.com, okay. If it has a references to stealmyidentity.com, it doesn't work (by default).

Version: 1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from: compiled sources
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS: SunOS (sun4u) release 5.7

It would be very useful if kmail could open external references based on domain name for displaying HTML. Perhapse an option similar to cookies for Konqueror could be created.

This would be especially useful for corporate emails (who always seem to have references to our intranet web server) and from emails from people I trust. I guess it might be possible by creating filters and folders, but that is too complicated.

It should be possible to specify this trust based on both the domain referenced and the domain the email was received from. Additionally, specific email addresses could be supported as well.

Given the discussion in KDE Bugs 34857, 132377, etc., I'm going to call this one confirmed (it's a wishlist item anyway).

Sounds like a duplicate of
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63780

The latter one is a little bit younger, but has more votes and discussed some more implementation details, thus suggest merging both to receive more visibility (and votes).

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this feature request! Unfortunately, at this time Kubuntu does not have the developer manpower needed to implement and maintain many features at the Kubuntu level. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53801
Once implemented in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63780 is about rending HTML, this bug is about loading external references. It is wrongly flagged as duplicate and should still be open.

In the end, this is the same wish. "domain name" in the report referred to the sender domain, not the external references.

And this is the kmail product, please use kmail2 for current versions.
