Thank you, TalkTalk webmail. --- Thunderbird app?

Billx — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:14:11 GMT

I usually follow up and analyse any spam emails I receive via TalkTalk,

whether TalkTalk filters them into its Inbox folder or into its Spam folder.

Thunderbird cannot currently synchronise and mirror what TalkTalk puts into the Spam folder,

So, I manually mirror that, into the Thunderbird Spam folder.

All well and good so far.

However, Thunderbird has developed a mode recently, in how it treats those spam emails.

Instead of Thunderbird showing me each of the original pictures in a spam email, it shows me the following picture for each:

All the web links in the spam email are untouched in Thunderbird.

(So, Thunderbird is not trying to prevent me from using those links.)

Now, why I am thankful to TalkTalk webmail?

Because TalkTalk webmail does not go into this shifty picture mode.

So, has anyone using Thunderbird observed this picture?

Oh, I nearly forgot. Microsoft Outlook behaves in exactly the same way.

As this is not an issue for support from staff I've moved it to the Lounge for discussion

Btw, I've not seen this, but then again, I'm not one to experiment with Spam.

Maybe best to ask on a Thunderbird forum.

No, @fr8ys

I was asking whether any users of these TalkTalk forums have seen that graphic/picture that I have displayed above, arising either from Microsoft Outlook or from Thunderbird, and I explained how it arose in my case,

There is not a lot of discussion required.
