Setting up Thunderbird for some non-technical users that receive messages with tracking images, scripts etc. We would like to prevent users from enabling/allowing remote content; in other words, we would like Thunderbird not to display the “Preferences” button or the whole “To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked (…)” bar, like it is visible in Remote Content in Messages. Is it doable in current Thunderbird versions?

Setting permissions.default.image=2 seems to actually block remote images even if user tries to allow them, which is good but confusing. It also breaks images in the build-in web browser, it is unintended. We are unsure if the setting applies to all kinds of remote content.
