Perhaps this would be a good use of a whitelist. Images are OK from some users
or domains, but off for everyone else.

BTW: I would agree about the embedded javascript in email. Serves no purpose you
can't also serve by sending a link to a web page. But formatting mail as HTML
should certainly be allowed. Too many users prefer it and it provides a standard
rich text format. Better than RTF IMHO.
