I don't think that the folder-based policy is particularly safe -- it would be trivial to defeat any of my filters to fill a mail into a wrong mailbox, for example, which is why I really do not like this option at all.
_possibly_ add a flag to a message to auto-open the next time
Why do you want this to be optional? The IMAP flags can only be manipualted by IMAP clients, so a decision based on flags is as safe as it goes in my book. Perhaps I'm missing something -- what is it?
And if you just block all images, you end up not protecting the users anyway as they will move to a mail client that will let them see the kitten pictures that people send to them without such horrid annoyances.
Leaving aside the question of what benefit such users would bring to us, do you get a lot of HTML mail with images linked from remote sites? Most of the kitten mail I receive happens to come with embedded animals, not links. Perhaps my friend need further education here :).
