Yes I have made this point for years, and alas no one has written the thing yet. I'm sure I could do it no problem if I was in the know and not travelling the world, but that's not the situation right now.
It would just be so damn useful for saving newsletters and feeds from engadget. c'mon smart guys Edit: In this subject Google still only brings up me! http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 49c1568ff2 http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... bd531eba65 NB: If this is solved in Tb 3 or newer, I'd still like a Tb 2 solution. Cheers.

Sounds like it could be useful. I'll look into it, might take a few days though. I'll post back here when I've done something.
Hmm, I always meant to reply back to this thread when I had finished but totally forgot
![]() Hi Einare
Wow this is an oldie. Nice to hear back on this ![]() I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for working on it! Dave NB: If this is solved in Tb 3 or newer, I'd still like a Tb 2 solution. Cheers.
Oops, yes, didn't mean to give a link to my internal developer page
![]() The correct AMO url is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4846 and my own url if you don't feel like using the sandbox: http://tech.einaregilsson.com/download/remote_image_cache.xpi I've ported it to SeaMonkey at http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#remoteimagecache
Here are some things I noticed:

Thanks for porting to Seamonkey. I'll fix those things you mentioned if I ever get around to updating this extension
![]() Remote Images Cache addon is no longer compatible with Thunderbird 3.*
This addon is needed for the following: 1. Allows viewing emails as they were intended even though the images are no longer available on the server side. 2. Privacy: The remote server only gets to know that you read the email the time you allow showing remote content. 3. It is more efficient and faster to retrieve images from local storage than over the internet. Thunderbird cache is just not enough because there is no control over it. An end user can't decide whether to keep or not images on cache nor decide for how long. Could someone please make it compatible with TB3?. Can't move to TB3 without it. The addon is still available at the developer's site. Download on the abandoned projects section.
