Do you have View/Message Body As set to Original HTML? Anything else will not show remote content. Are the remote images visible when you access the account through webmail?

Yes, View/Message Body is set to Original HTML.

And no, I cannot view the remote content via webmail. I presume that means the server is blocking the content? Thanks for your help.

Yes, accessing the account through webmail may indicate controls to 'whitelist' senders for remote content. If there are no such controls. add the sender to the webmail contacts. That might unblock the content, just as it often stops the server from sending legitimate mail to Spam.
