Using 86.0b1 on Fedora 33 Workstation.

I get that if I have View > Message Body As > Plain Text selected, opens as HTML with View Message Body As > Original HTML, then I have to allow remote content to view the graph and other remote items.

Also works for me using:
Name Thunderbird
Version 87.0a1
Build ID 20210129105445

Thanks, I'd spent all my time looking through preferences to see what had changed - RTFM!
Can someone close this bug please.
