Before you jump to conclusions, it might be useful to ask the author his intentions. After recent complaints about the download size of FoxyProxy, I considered hosting some of ites images remotely but decided against it in the interest of privacy. Perhaps this author had similar thoughts. Also, has this code been packaged into a release or just uploaded to CVS? If the latter, these may not be the author's permanent plans.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON ! <http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/senderface/src/chrome/content/messageViewOverlay.js.diff?r1=1.3&r2=1.4> + var col = document.createElement("treecol"); + col.setAttribute("id","myCol"); + col.setAttribute("editable","true"); + col.setAttribute("label","Face"); + col.setAttribute("src", "http://taz.vv.sebank.se/cgi-bin/pts3/pow/img/nav_arrow_right.gif";;); This wasn't there in the previous version; and it isn't in the code of the extension this was based on (messagefaces). There does not seem to be any good reason to load remote content here. I mean the other extension, messagefaces, does optionally allow you to use remote content for your *faces* but it's a pref that is off by default; and it certainly doesn't load remote content for its UI. What does the mozdev T&C say about this sort of behaviour? Having said that, I can't imagine why on earth a Swedish bank would want to track Thunderbird users. Am I just being unnecessarily paranoid, or are the Gnomes of Zurich really out to get me?
