I have allowed remote content from one specific newsletter but images are still not displayed, is there anything further I can do?

I receive a regular newsletter from the manufacturer of a railsim. I have allowed remote content for this email address only in the security section of the options window in Thunderbird. However, the remote content (images) are still not appearing - only those little box thingies which, if I click on them, take me to various pages on the manufacturer's website. I want this facility but it's a real drag independently clicking each box to see if it is something I wish to add to my railsim. So, having set Thunderbird to accept remote content from only this email address (all others are blocked), why is it not displaying the content?

Does the newsletter include content linked from another (3rd-party) site? If so, you may have to explicitly permit the 3rd-party site(s) too.

As far as I can see (url) it is all from the same site.

What exactly have you got in this location.

Tools > Options > Privacy click on 'Exceptions'.

what is entered in 'Site' and 'status'...word for word. It may be easier to post an image.

re: various pages on the manufacturer's website. Is the 'manufacturer's website - various websites or the same website that also owns the email address. So email address may say 'info @ foobar .com' and the website is www.foobar.com and different pages of that same website?

eg: noreply @ marshalls-seeds.co.uk Enter: marshalls-seeds.co.uk

but not sub domain - in example the 'cs' is sub domain: eg: noreply @ cs.hm.com Enter: hm.com else you would need to enter each sub-domain as a separate site.
