Thanks Tom for the info on remote content.
It is currently turned on but may turn it off again and see how many
messages give warnings.
Cheers
Neville.

Here's the scoop on remote content from Mozilla.
Email messages can contain remote content such as images, stylesheets or
videos. By default Thunderbird does not load remote content
automatically, but instead shows a notification bar that it blocked
remote content to protect your privacy.
Remote content is a privacy concern because it allows the message sender
to know:
• each time you view the message
• rough details about what application and what platform you are using
• your current geographic location (a rough approximation by IP address)
• that your email address is actually used ("alive")
This is almost the same information web sites commonly collect about you
during normal web surfing. While browsing has the same privacy
implications, what makes remote content in messages different is that it
is targeted at you initially, so you can assume your access is directly
linkable to your email address. This is also why spam often contains
remote images (also known as "web bugs") which allow the spammer to mark
your address as valid if the image is ever loaded.
On the other hand, if you do get many genuine emails containing remote
content it can get annoying having to click "Show remote content in this
message" for each message. Emails look much better with images and
stylesheets turned on.
All in all, however, what you do online in a web browser is usually
disclosing much more information about yourself than loading content in
an email message.
Hth,
Tom

Yeah, I saw that in Options but wasn't quite sure what it meant so left
it the way it was. I'll try it out and see how it goes.
Thanks

About the only change noticed so far with the new version is that the
word "TO" is not spoken when entering the "TO" field. The word
subject
is spoken but there is silence when entering the message box. Apart
from
these minor areas, all seems to be working satisfactorily without the
app.
