Images are displaying even though "Allow remote content" is unchecked, and there are no exceptions.
Images are displaying even though "Allow remote content" is unchecked, and there are no exceptions. Why? How do I stop it?

If a URL appears on hover, it just means the image is linked to that URL, but the image can either be embedded or stored on a remote server. Look at the message source (Ctrl+U) to see if an image is embedded or remote.

You can set this for all messages by going to config editor and double-clicking this entry, changing from false to true. mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image
What config editor?
Tools>Preferences>General scroll to bottom of right pane.
Are these images actual remote content, i.e. linked to web servers, or embedded images? If the latter, select View/Message Body As, Plain Text, to not show them.
Tools>Preferences>General isn't a thing. I'm running Thunderbird 91.5.0 (64-bit) on Linux.
The images show a URL in the status bar when I hover over them.

Must be embedded! Thanks for the "plain text" tip.
