I recently install macOS Monterey12.0.1 and now my Mail messages do not display any images. I get a message at the top of each message "Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately" with and option to "Load content directly" which then allows the images to display in the message. How can I fix this so images display in the messages automatically?

This does work and is a helpful tip, however that makes the "Protect Mail Activity" feature in Apple Mail essentially useless since no one wants to push the "Load Content Directly" button every time they receive an email. This is a poor design and is not up to Apple's standards, in my humble opinion.
That worked - I unchecked "Hide IP address" and my emails are back to normal. Thank you veinzen!
I found this to true as well.
I had to also uncheck the “hide URL” box
Sorry, I meant “hide IP address”
I've done all this and it still happens. So frustrating!
Where do you go to get to this though I can’t find it? I guess I’m missing something on my laptop ugh frustrated.
Bingo!
And yes, in my case, "Hide IP" was the problem.
I value My privacy and I always have protect mail activity ON. is a great option, and images are only a click away, and that is only if you want to see them.
can not find preferences
nope did not work for me! how do I fix this? example 309 of apples down fall. Steve Jobs would be disappointed
FYI - You do have to untick Hide IP address in order to allow automatic loading of remote content.
And the new name for "preferences" is "settings" ! So look for this in Mail - settings - privacy
After macOS Monterey 12.0.1 update my mail messages do not display any images
