I definitely like the new v4 feature that allows remote images to be loaded and shown, but I think the URL-based method has some problems.
I'd like to suggest that, in addition to the current URL-based method, a method similar to Thunderbird's be added. The way Thunderbird works for images is, you can decide a particular email message is "safe". In that case, all images are loaded for that email. This is not using the sender address, which can be spoofed, but the actual message itself.
