Recently, some automatic updates were made to my Dell desktop. I assume they were updates to the Windows 11 OS.

The updates also caused some changes to my Thunderbird e-mails. The incoming e-mails are formatted differently. I used to get a message, saying that "remote content" in some incoming e-mails had been blocked. I was given the option to show remote content in the incoming e-mail. Now, I no longer have the option to "show remote content".

Please tell me how I can recover the option to "show remote content" on incoming e-mails.

Thank you.

Chosen solution

First, check that 'Allow remote content...' is unchecked in Settings/Privacy & Security. Then, check that View/Message Body As is Original HTML. Press Alt if the Menu Bar with View is hidden.
