Could you please split the "Options" button into two?

Thunderbird used to have a single button at the top of the email message to show remote content--but now there's an Options button with that choice plus four more. Since so many messages require me to show remote content, it usually takes me two clicks to continue with the message. Quite annoying. If that button were to be split into a "Show Remote Content" button and an "Other Options" button, things would revert to the previous level of convenience. (I know I could opt to have the remote content displayed automatically, but I like that additional measure of security.) TIA!
