Package: icedove
Version: 1.5.0.10.dfsg1-3
Severity: important

When a received email message displayed in Icedove has remote images,
by default, Icedove refuses to load the remote images.  In this case,
Icedove displays a banner above the message, "To protect your privacy,
Icedove has blocked remote images in this message."  The banner includes
a button labeled "Show Images".

Just now, I did not click the "Show Images" button, but used the reply
operation to open a Compose window, and Icedove included the original
message as quoted content *including the blocked image*.

I have reproduced this questionable behavior with a second (spam) message.

This seems to be a privacy/security bug in the normally very
privacy-conscious Icedove.
