lost images in thunderbird

Hi can anyone tell me how to get the images in an email to display in the preview pane in thunderbird. my wife clicked something and they disappeared! and now just show where they should be. I have been through the menu and tried everything in View, Tools and Message, I think. probably something silly I missed? thanks Adrian

Go to Edit | Preferences | Advanced then under Privacy uncheck the box for 'Block loading of remote images in email messages'

Hi fouldsy, thanks for reply. I did what you said but, when I uncheck the box "Block the loading of remote images in mail messages" it gray's out the "Allow remote images if the sender is in my personal address book" and I can't check the box on its own. when I check both it puts a button on the mail box saying "show images" but it doesn't when I click it. any ideas? thanks Adrian

Hi just noticed after doing what you said its now only 2 emails that are not showing the pics, they are some lotto type she plays on-line, could she have clicked on fillters or something? Adrian
