get rid of message "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message"

[audrey joy]

Hello all,

How do I get rid of the message that says: "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message" at every new message? It's really annoying.

Thanks; have a nice day.

There is a risk associated with remote content. If you are willing to
accept that risk, do the following:

1. On the menu bar, select [Tools > Options].

2. On the Options window, select Privacy.

3. Under "Mail Content" on the Privacy pane, check the "Allow remote
content in messages" checkbox.

4. Select the OK button.

Before doing step #3, you might want to view the result of selecting the
"Learn more ..." link on the Privacy pane.

First you say you do, and then you don't.
And then you say you will, but then won't.
You're undecided now, so what're you goin' to do?

Before doing that, you should be aware of this security threat if you
are using encryption.

In comment #1 it is suggested. "The best mitigation right now is View |

Its easy to click "Allow remote content for this message" if you want it.

I understood that the OP wants to get rid of the message but not necessarily wants to Switch Off TB Screening of Remote Content. Is that possible?

To disable the message for every email, do as David Ross indicated.
To disable the message for the particular email now and in the future,
select "Preferences," select the option at the bottom for the list of
"Allow remote content from ..." items.

The "Preferences" option seems to have disappeared for me. I only have the "More" dropdown and no options for displaying the remote content. Just saw this start today. Running version 52.8.0 64-bit on Linux.

Nope still there.
