I have Dillo configured NOT to show images initially. Do that for
security. Reloading page usually brings them up. It will follow some
links to other pages, but for viewing purposes only. One cannot
interact and transmit data as I need to. I have to use a real browser
for that. And that means logging in through the browser to that
particular email account.

Probably a missed setting somewhere. But the more I look at Balsa, the
more I think it's just, for all practical purposes, a clone of
Claws-Mail. I could be wrong. We'll see. Installing it for the third
try after purging it twice.
