How to control "Load Content Directly in Mail"

The latest version of Mail in Monterey doesn't load all message content unless I request it. At the top of each message is the notice:

Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately


That is followed by a button:

load content directly


I presume this is a privacy feature.


I would like a keyboard shortcut to select the load button.


I believe it is the checkbox under privacy in Mail preferences that says:


Protect Mail activity


It seems like a good idea and I don't mind the effort it takes to click the button for messages I want fully loaded but I would also like to do that with a keyboard shortcut.


I haven't heard much about how others are dealing with the issue or is it something I checked and not used by most?



MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

If every email you see: "Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately.”


Open mail app select Mail>Preferences>Privacy disable “Protect Mail Activity” / “Hide IP address” / “Block all remote content” —content for the email will load automatically
