Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Thunderbird for Android by enabling remote image blocking and opening an email with a remote image. Start by locating the Android UI that displays the remote-image warning and the setting state it reads. Done means the warning is hidden when blocking was explicitly enabled, while the normal allow-images behavior remains available.
