1. Configure Thunderbird to use a proxy:
Edit -> Preferences -> General tab -> Proxy button -> Select a manual proxy
My Proxy is a SSH connection on localhost and on port 7777.

2. Open any HTML Email that includes images that are stored on a remote server. The images will not be displayed. Try the following Dilbert mail for example:

<html>
<head>
<TITLE>Daily Dilbert</TITLE>

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0">
<meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache">

</head>
