Of course. My answer was in response to the fact that I might have to 
require 10.13+ to support image blocking using WKWebView. WKWebView 
works with older macOS releases, but this is without an API to do image 
blocking. That leaves me with various options:

* Make MailMate macOS 10.13+ only.
* Find a different way to do image blocking on older macOS releases 
while still using WKWebView. This means MailMate becomes 10.10+ only.
* Maintain the old message view solution for older macOS versions.
* Not do image blocking on older macOS versions.

I would prefer the second solution.

Yes, but in any case, they also have the option of running an older 
version of MailMate. They won't get updates to MailMate, but they are 
also not getting updates to macOS.

But let's see what happens. I still have many unresolved issues with 
WKWebView. Maybe I cannot make it work at all :)
