Remote content in incoming Thunderbird messages
Until relatively recently, incoming html emails included a notification on a yellow background that Thunderbird had blocked remote content, providing a preferences button to choose which, if any remote content to display.
Now- that still happens occasionally, but more often the email appears more as a simple html message and the above referenced notification doesn't appear. I have to select VIEW->MESSAGE BODY AS->ORIGINAL HTML in order to get that notification to appear on many messages.
What config option to I need to adjust to restore that notification on ALL incoming html messages?
Thanks, ron

TB doesn't display remote images unless View/Message Body As is Original HTML, so that is why the notification is absent if the setting is Simple HTML or Plain Text.
If only it were that simple. View->Message Body As->Original HTML is set as the default, and has been for years.
But the notification appears only intermittently. So I assumed that some config option had changed.
I just can't find it.

If Original HTML has always been the default, why do you need to select it for some messages? Check the Exceptions for Mail Content in Settings/Privacy & Security for any sites that are incorrectly classified. Or, just clear all entries and uncheck 'Allow remote content...' to reset everything.
