    Thunderbird is an email program.

    Yes it already does this, and has done since 0.2 at least! Works perfectly :-) Good question, too....

    In what sense is this off-topic? I could see it being redudant, although I personally found this humorous. Though I'm not sure this story qualifies, every time there's a minor update to Mozilla, it's front page news. 'Momentous'. Heh.

    Yes it does, in the options under advanced settings, privacy there is an option to "Block loading of remote images in mail messages".

    "Novel"? I don't recall ever _not_ being able to do so with Gnus.

    Integration of PGP/GPG into Mozilla is called Enigmail. I was going to link to its project page on www.mozdev.org but it's just not loading for me right now. I don't know how well the integration of Enigmail into Thunderbird works, since I can't look it up. However I have used it in Mozilla mail (I don't converse with anyone who gives a shit about encryption so I stopped caring about it) and it works quite cleanly. However, if you want to give it a shot, visit the thunderbird extensions page and click the xpi link.
