I found an answer to this problem after looking at all settings, then
found this on thunderbird site:
For images embedded in messages: make sure that the setting for "View ->
Message Body As" is set to either "Original or "Simple HTML".
For images attached to messages: go to the "View" menu and make sure
that "Display Attachments Inline" is checked.
I would never have guessed that this setting would block images.
I had set to Simple HTML. Despite what it says above, that was blocking
images.
Putting it on "Original HTML" fixed problem

I'm using the same version (-current, i386) of thunderbird on several
computers.
I can't get remote images anymore on one computer.
The option button to load remote images is gone and option to add to
address book for that is missing also.
One other computer I use still has these options.
Anyone know of some setting that I need to fix or some possible
problem in profile?
