Unfortunately, that's just not always realistic.  I agree, almost 
always, those images are completely unnecessary (even from legit 
senders) but I seem to frequently get emails where the entire message is 
embedded in the image.  Have you ever tried to explain that, and why it 
is bad, to whoever ends up getting your question about it?  Even trying 
to explain why it makes accessibility impossible for the message, they 
often still don't get it.

I'll be able to try later today.

I tried again just prior to your commit, and I get instead:

lbh_navigation_policy_decision uri about:blank, type 5, used

which would have been printed by .._TYPE_OTHER or ..._TYPE_RELOAD, which 
still doesn't make much sense to me.  Out of curiosity - clicking WHERE 
would trigger the WEBKIT_NAVIGATION_TYPE_LINK_CLICKED ?  Would that be 
clicking some link withing the displayed content?

Also, I'm using webkit-gtk 2.18.6, and have been for at least several 
months.  It's currently the only version available on Gentoo, so I'll 
have to check their forums/bugsystem to see if there is any move to upgrade.
