WebKit update



News from the front:

Balsa supports three different backends for rendering HTML message parts: WebKitGTK, GtkHTML-3, and GtkHtml-2.  The WebKitGTK backend is the newest.

Search: The WebKitGTK backend in git master now supports searching for text, using the same UI as for searching for text in a plain text message part.

Remote images: To protect the user's privacy, all of the HTML backends block downloading images from remote servers.  The WebKitGTK backend now alerts the user that images have been blocked, and offers the option to download them when the user is confident that no privacy issues are raised.

Included images: All three backends in principle support images in "cid:" message parts, but that seems to be broken in current GtkHTML-3.

Requirements: The image option in WebKit uses GtkInfoBar, and requires Gtk-2.18.  WebKitGTK version 1.1.14 is also required to build from git master.

Best to all,

Peter
