To protect my privacy and prevent tracking pixels, I had blocked external content in Thunderbird. Previously, a bar appeared above the mail in Thunderbird indicating that external media was hidden in these messages - and on the right I could then open a drop-down menu to add domains to the whitelist.For a few weeks/months now (currently Thunderbird 141.0 x64), however, only ‘To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message.’ appears here, followed by an X to close the notification.I have added alerts@gg.deals and gg.deals to the whitelist - if they are other domains, I can no longer identify them in the new view. 'Allow remote content in messages' is activated in the settings.What can I do to see the external content again? Some messages, especially those from familiar senders, are really unpleasant to process.#Thunderbird #AskFedi @thunderbird

@Boris_NotTooBadinoff It seems like I found the reason for what's going on.Mailbox 1 is my account at @mailbox_org - they encrypt every message I receive with my public PGP key.Mailbox 2 is my ISP's mailbox, where I usually don't receive encrypted mails.In mailbox 2 I can whitelist domains or e-mail-addresses. In mailbox 1, I just see the notification that external media is hidden for privacy reasons. Even if I enable external media for every mail + mailbox, #Thunderbird doesn't show anything it in PGP-encrypted mails. I don't know if that's intentional by @thunderbird, but it does not seem to work in principle.
