To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message

Every time that happens, and that's almost every second e-mail, I have to go to "options, show remote content in this message"

I don't understand how Thunderbird will protect me by not showing the content in the e mail sent to me. The content that I can see just a same by going to "options, show remote content in this message" or any of the other options there.

I just can't see the logic in that.

It can't protect you from yourself if you decide to display it. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Privacy_basics_(Thunderbird)
