@Boris_NotTooBadinoff It seems like I found the reason for what's going on.
Mailbox 1 is my account at @mailbox_org - they encrypt every message I receive with my public PGP key.
Mailbox 2 is my ISP's mailbox, where I usually don't receive encrypted mails.
In mailbox 2 I can whitelist domains or e-mail-addresses. In mailbox 1, I just see the notification that external media is hidden for privacy reasons. Even if I enable external media for every mail + mailbox, #Thunderbird doesn't show anything it in PGP-encrypted mails. I don't know if that's intentional by @thunderbird, but it does not seem to work in principle.
Glad you found the solution! Also, thank you for posting the details to help the next person looking for the answer
