Hi, folks,
This is odd. Just recently, at home, even though I have it set to display messages as plain text, I'm suddenly seeing pics attached to spam inline, as though I had it set to display html.
Can't find anything to make it stop - anyone have a clue?

You are probably being confronted with content with content-disposition: inline. Many muas display such content, exposing you to possible attacks that target bugs in rendering libraries.
Not sure if there's a switch to disable the rendering of content with disposition inline in TB but at least now you know what to search for :) . Evolution does not have such an switch on C6 and C7, but recent releases do: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769388
Regards, Leonard.

Thanks. Knowing the "magic words" always helps in a search. Thing is, t-bird never *used* to do this - it's only recently, I think....
