In some emails from website Postila.ru (pishite@postila.ru) the images do not display. The problem is only with emails, that have a special symbol in their subjects (a star). Please, look at the screenshot. In options content from this site is allowed. In other emails from this site the images are displayed normally. All images are displayed in web browser.

Futher information: Version Thunderbird 45.3.0/ Windows

re : The problem is only with emails, that have a special symbol in their subjects (a star). Please, look at the screenshot. Could you post a screenshot showing this.

Do you know why there is a special symbol in their subjects (a star)? Is this something the sender has done or something your website is doing?

Hi! Thank you for a quick answer. The screenshot is now attached. We put the stars and other symbols in our emails just as a marketing tool to attract our user's attention. Many web projects do the same thing, for example, Sound cloud uses emoji in their subjects. It's allowed by SMTP-protocol. This information may be useful: our images are not attached, but hosted on the website, inserted via .

The screenshot image shows that you have images containing remote content and they have been blocked by default.

hence why you also see the message below the headers. in English it would say: 'To protect your privacy, thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message.' You also have the 'Options' button which offers: the top one will allow images to be displayed but only in that email. then you will see a list of the different remote content currently blocked. At the bottom there are two options. the first allows remote content from all of the above remote content list. The last one allows remote content from the 'From' email address.

Select the last one, what happens? Could you post an image of email after selecting the last option.

After allowing remote content from pishite@postila.ru there are no positive changes: images do not display. Screenshot after selecting the last option is attached.

Hi! We still need help! Do you have another ideas, what could be wrong with displaying images?

more options

Please try:

select email click on 'More' select: 'allow remote content from all 5 origins listed above.'

Please report back on results.
