It is a dangerous security breach to allow remote
content. You will allow bugs that can track you to be
installed if you ever open a spam message by mistake, a lot
of such messages have tracking bugs. You will allow images
and other content to run that may have malware. Do not do
this.
If you don’t know what the effects of lowering such
settings are, don’t do it. Ask here or look up information,
but don’t just lower such settings without knowing what they
do. Go back to an earlier version of the program or Try to
solve the problem in other ways. In this case, going back
involves creating a new profile. I don’t know what is
involved or how difficult it is. The work and inconvenience
may be more than the problem you are trying to solve. I
don’t know. I’ll let others discuss that, but change the
external content setting bacdk to what it was, not to allow
it. Perhaps setting the program not to use the spam filter
or to not send anything to the spam folder might solve the
problem if it is the junk diallog you are trying to
eliminate. I don’t know if there are such settings, but
checck thoroughly.
I have said in the past that you shouldn’t just let the
program update any time it feels like doing so. Maybe now,
people will start to listen. Set the program not to update
and don’t do so until some time goes by so you know if you
see problems and complaints reported by others who have
updated. You would have saved yourself a lot of problems by
doing this.
There may be programs where it is important to let the
program update. A browser may be one. An e-mail ;program
isn’t such a program. If you update now or a week from now,
won’t matter.
I noticed this to, luckily I have made it so that
thunderbirg allows
remote content and this seems to have so far made things
work.
Thunderbird spam and junk filters are a joke, I don't know
why there
is not a way to rely on something like google's spam mail
and turn off
its own or just use an external source, maybe there is I
have just
never investigated this.
However google has a really good spam filter and usually
gets it right.
