Thunderbird has suddenly stopped asking if it should display about remote content

I was reading through e-mails and came to a trusted source and was asked with the yellow bar if I wanted to allow remote content. I agreed to all sources for that page, all of which were shown as from the trusted domain.

Now all e-mails, including that one are shown without images, and there is no yellow bar offering 'allow' options. What has happened?

I have quit and restarted Thunderbird (78.13.0), and rebooted the Windows 10 PC, with no change.

Answering myself, for others interest perhaps, I have discovered that if I set the View options to Simple HTML instead of Original HTML, and THEN back again to Original HTML, the correct behavior has returned.

I suspect that that option had got changed somehow to 'simple', but was not reflected in the View menu setting. Perhaps un-setting the option and back again rewrote the correct setting back to the options storage area?
