Lucid 10.04...How do you stop Thunderbird from adding email addresses to the address book from all the newsletters I get? It is very annoying. Any input would be appreciated.

I found that if you choose to just "Show Remote Content" instead of "Always Load Remote Content" it won't collect the return email address of the newsletter in the Address Book.

Its possible to display all images from any sender, though its not recommended since malware can be embedded in images, and spammers will be able to verify your e-mail address. If you want to do this use the Config editor to toggle the preference mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image to false

just double click and it will be false
