Description
Problem you are trying to solve
I have some folders that I want to be available for offline use but the content contains critical pictures. For example:
- Tickets and Passes
- Comics
It would be nice if some folders could be fully available offline, including any remote content.
Note that a similar issue exists for attachments.
Suggested solution
Provide a per-folder option to pre-download images upon fetching the message. This should probably take 3 possible configurations:
- Fetch images for all messages.
- Fetch images for messages from contacts.
- Don't pre-fetch images.

Research direction
Start by tracing how folders fetch messages and how attachment offline handling works, since the issue identifies those as the related area. Define where a per-folder image-fetch preference belongs and verify that each of the three configurations produces the expected offline availability for remote images.
