Allow Thunderbird 3 To Display Images Automatically

How to Automatically Show All Images In Thunderbird 3

1.   From in Thunderbird version 3, Click Tools and then SelectOptions…

2.   Click the Advanced tab and then Click Config Editor…

3.   You will be prompted with a warning about how dangerous it can be to modify your config.  Click the I’ll be careful, I promise! button.

4.   From the about:config menu, Find themailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image entry.  The easiest way is to type it into the filter above.  Once found, Double-Click theEntry until it says Status = user set, and Value = false.  Once done you can exit and changes will happen immediately.

Now whenever you access emails using Thunderbird you should not longer ever be prompted by the “Protect Your Privacy” image blocking caption.  If at some point you decide that you want the extra security you can always go back in and set the value to “true” in the about:config menu, everything will go back to default.
