"Load Remote Content" option is missing for OpenPGP encrypted emails

I've encountered an issue specifically with OpenPGP encrypted emails in the latest version of Thunderbird, 140.0.1.

When I receive an email that is encrypted with OpenPGP, the notification bar that allows me to "Load Remote Content" does not appear. This behavior is exclusive to encrypted emails; the option shows up normally for all other, non-encrypted messages.

As a troubleshooting step, I tried to enable the "Allow remote content in messages" option. However, this setting does not seem to affect the encrypted emails at all, and their remote content remains blocked and hidden.

So, I'd like to know if this is an intentional security policy in Thunderbird, or if it's a bug. Is there any way to solve it?
