Nobody ever forces them to. The default would be to not download the
images. I do not understand all these objections to a whitelist, which
nobody needs to use if they don't want to.

Please do not protect *me* from myself. I do not take well to
nannying. If I cause a problem to my system by downloading images, it
will be my own fault and I will have to deal with it. TB is an email
client for grown-ups.
