When viewing an incoming message the message bar containg the text "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message. " is not displayed, so there is no 'Options' button to view (or not) remote content. No messages that I receive display any remote content. How do I restore the option of viewing remote content?
