Some messages no longer display the warning on remote content. Why is this?

The warning doesn't appear if you have View/Message Body As set to anything other than Original HTML. Check also that remote content for those senders or domains hasn't been allowed as an exception in Tools/Options/Privacy.

Hi

I had checked those two situations and I have "original HTML" and no exceptions in Privacy,

One possibility is that I may have allowed one remore content in one email and from then onALL emails from that sender arrive without warning.

however, yours just now did not have the warning box!

According to this article, "If you can never see remote images because the "Show Remote Images" button is always missing check that permissions.default.image is set to 1 using the config editor."

If you never see the warning, check also that the box 'Allow remote content...' in Privacy is not checked.

My problem seems to be connected to my own email accounts. If I receive an email from outside, I get the box warning about remote content. But if I send (from outiside) an email fom one of mya ccounts to another, when it arrives it has no warning, no box

Could it be that TB is smart enogh to know that in the past I allowed content on these email addresses many times?

if so, how can i undo it?
