Yes. Probably it could be scripted, but there is not such a script, afaik.

Because you can change accounts in the Compose window, and that stops things
getting messy.

Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V instead, then?

You mean when you copy an account to create a new account rather than /create/
a new account. The copy is a copy, of course. Try /Configuration/Create New
Account instead.

Use a GTK theme.

Yes, completely wrong. Those options refer to attached images, not remote
images. By default Claws Mail does not display fully rendered html, you need
a plugin for that. The plugins have their own options for blocking remote
content.
