When I try to open EML file stored on NAS that was previously stored using the same Thunderbird app (version 142.0 (64 bits)) the preview is blank (photos attached) although the message source shows content. When I copy this EML file from NAS to desktop and then open, the preview shows up correctly.

Thank you Klein. It solved the problem. Basically adding server address e.g. in this form

//192.168.1.12

in settings editor under mail.allowed_unc_hosts setting
