Description

As well as the "always show for contacts" option for pictures, can we also have some sort of whitelisting to work alongside?

I get a number of genuine advertising type mailing lists, most of which I would like to see the pictures for. But to show pictures for these at the moment, I either have to press the button every time, add them to my contact list, or allow pictures always.
Adding them to my contacts would be OK if the contacts were only for use in K9, but it appears to be wanting to add a global phone contact, which is silly for this purpose.

Research direction

The issue describes the existing "always show for contacts" picture option and its global phone-contact behavior, but names no files or tests. Start by tracing that setting and the picture-loading decision, then verify that an address/domain whitelist works without requiring global contacts and that matching mailing-list images are shown automatically.
