Using TB 60.3.1 32 bit Windows 10

After this update, I have to allow remote content - even if I allowed it from the sender in the past, and even if the sender is already in my address book.

Did installing this update essentially delete all my previous "allow" selections? Is there a way to allow remote content if the sender is already in my address book?

Thank you -

The change has been in effect since at least TB 52. I don't know if the previous allowances were migrated, but if not you will be prompted the first time you receive remote content from a sender not entered in Exceptions.

Look for a message from someone in your address book but not in Exceptions, and see if you are prompted re remote content.

Remote content rules are no longer in the contact Properties, but instead under Tools/Options/Privacy. Click the Exceptions... button to add or remove contacts and websites.

Thank you, but that answered neither of my questions -

1) Did installing this update essentially delete all my previous "allow" selections?

2) Is there a way to allow remote content if the sender is already in my address book? (copying my address book into the Exceptions seems, well, exceptionally silly)
