turns out that was my misunderstanding of how things work; just reopened that message again and inspected the article in raw format which shows it's a multipart message (txt/html); when the html part was rendered the 1st time around i (wrongly) assumed the whole page was fetched from the location pointed to by the URL (the URL was only visible in the "filtered" mode); on closer inspection the HTML part does contain pointers to the dreaded 1 pixel images and i'll be re-reading your finding about (whatever they are called) variables controlling image loading my apologies for the confusion _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
