+I have no objection to this kind of knob in an already fiddly config\r
+space.  In the other thread, i see the discussion of whether this should\r
+expose something fancier than a boolean, but given the number of\r

+\r
+What should notmuch do when the customization variable is set to t\r
+(block remote images) but the html rendering backend doesn't support\r
+blocking remote images?\r
+\r
+It seems dangerous/disingenuous to offer the option to the user but not\r
+be able to enforce it in this case.  Should having this set to t\r
+restrict the range of html renderers to only those that we can force to\r
+respect it?\r
