when viewing messages I get blank boxes rather than the image that is sent. annoying when one of the images may be a button to click.

Hi

This sounds like you need to enable the remote content in some of the emails that you receiving.

I recommend you have a read of this guide that will show you how to change the settings.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

Firstly I don;t get the "Thunderbird will show a blocked remote content notification bar when content is blocked. " so cannot select for each message.

I then followed the links and "Allow remote content in messages checkbox " - still no remote content.

If the broken images are in the actual embedded in the content try: 'View ' > 'Message Body As' > "Original HTML"

If these are attachments try: 'View' > 'Display Attachments Inline'

re: remote content images You would see a message below the headers but above the actual email. 'To protect your provacy, thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message' It is advisable that you do not set the default to always 'Allow remote content in messages' in Options, but instead choose to set this on a per email or email address basis.
