Hi,
Just now I noticed in an email that I got that it did not display the
photos included in the post. There is no button to "display remote
images". I see it in other emails.
Mmmm... maybe it is a problem in the mail itself. It displays perfectly
in Tb on the computer, though.
Hum! Worked when I tapped "download everything".
I've never used K9 to know its settings

Perhaps the problematic e-mail has links (<A href=URL ...> for HTML
formatted e-mail) to the images rather than the images are within the
e-mail itself (inside MIME blocks)? Most e-mail clients, maybe all,
default to blocking linked images; e.g., to deter web beacons that try
to track when you open an e-mail. Look at the raw source of the e-mail
to determine if the images are linked or embedded.
That TB and K9 behave differently could be due to different--
configuration regarding handling of linked content. For TB, I suspect
it does come installed with linked images blocked, but you decided to
change that setting. Or, the sender of that e-mail is trusted in TB,
but wasn't added to K9. You can configure many e-mail clients to
download everything, included linked content, if the sender is in a
whitelist or trusted sender list.
I've never used K9 to know its settings regarding linked content, or if
it has a trusted sender whitelist.

On this tablet I have 'Show remote images' at the top where it's obvious and 'Download complete message' right at the bottom, about 20cm away, where it's not.

Yes, but these images are "local".

The images were attached. I think that TB in the computer downloaded it
all (from the IMAP server, not online), whereas K9 only downloaded the text.

There might be a setting to restrict retrieved e-mails to a maximum
size.
Someone could send you huge e-mails in which you have no--
interest, so you don't want to waste bandwidth and disk space of
possibly unwanted content. Might be a sync option in K9 for the server/account definition regarding max incoming message size.

There is: "Fetch messages up to". The default is 32K.

Which is an absolutely ridiculous figure nowadays.

1) It's a very effective defence against wasting a limited data allowance
on unwanted stuff.
2) It's easy to dowload a complete larger message once you've decided
that it's not a waste of data allowance.
3) It's easy to set it to a much larger value, even unlimited.

Where do you live? And your list shows me that you not even tried to understand what I wrote.
BTW: We live in a flat rate world.
... The presence of the 'Download complete message' button means it's only downloaded part of the message body - often attachments but it can be part of the text on a long email.
I don't know whether other mobile email clients do the same - I've always used K9...

Exactly! Now, not so much, but I used to have some rather expensive pre-paid mobile data in overseas countries, for example in Australia.
IIRC, I had set lhe fetch limit even lower, some 8KB or so.
And even in 2024 (have not checked recently), pre-paid roaming charges
of 4 or even 9 Euro per *MB* were common. Spend a hundred Euro on *one* e-mail message, just because my e-mail client doesn't have a limit? I
don't think so.

Aha. The problem post has 110K.
Another post (different cinema) was 904K, but was not a problem, because
the images that are needed for the ticket are not attached, but are
remote. In that one some times I have to tap "see remote images".
Somehow the QR code is visible before doing that.

Everything under 1 MB allowed size will create problems sooner or later. HTML-code and attachments can easily reach the size you mentioned.
Even more cost efficient would be to just download the header in IMAP accounts and to download only what you really need. POP is a no go
anyway under these circumstances.
