Oh yes, but you can't stop it rendering HTML emails when you receive
them. Or at least you couldn't in the version I looked at whenever that
was.

yup, you can turn off getting remote pics from html but there is no way
to get it to stop rendering them, at least though the UI. might be a
plist you can edit for it though, which vaguely rings bells.


defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE

Stick this in Terminal while Mail is not running, and it forces Mail to
prefer the plain text version (if available).

Interesting - still, if there's no plain text version, it'll still
render incoming HTML, and I don't want that. And I don't want to miss
HTML emails either.

Just think of me as a paranoid idiot and leave me to my own damnation -
probably best.
