RE-block remote content for individual message
I have remote content blocked as a default. If I choose to view remote content **for an individual message**, there seems to be no way to reblock it, because the yellow bar with "options" disappears after you allow the remote content for that message. (Whoopsy! Changed my mind! Let's say I don't want the remote content to transmit that I opened the message a second time when I do so.)
Mail Content > Exceptions does not help in this case, since I allowed the remote content from a specific message, rather than allowing a wider permission, such as allowing remote content from a particular email address or website. Copying the message link into Mail Content > Exceptions (as suggested in an old post) doesn't work, either.
So it seems I am now stuck having remote content active each time I need to open that message?

I am not seeing that. To test it, I turned OFF remote messaging. An email came from a credit card company and I approved the email. Later, another email arrived from same company, same email address, and I had to approve it as well. I ccannot diagnose the problem, and can only report that it works for me.
I think we're talking about slightly different scenarios. I'm discussing re-opening the exact same email a second time. It sounds like you are discussing opening a different email from the same sender.
You're right. Opening the same email causes no prompt, but I am unsure on what the concern is in that? Maybe I"m a bit naive on whatever your concern is. Thank you for more insight.
Remote content can, for example, tell the sender if/when/how many times you've opened their email, among other things.
