Lawrence Finch’s suggestion (turn Mail Privacy Setting ‘Protect Mail Activity’ off leads the way to resolution, but needs clarification.

For me, simply turning ‘Protect Mail Activity’ off was insufficient. Turning it off revealed two further switches: ‘Hide IP Address’ and ‘Block all remote content’. Turning ‘Hide IP Address’ off did the trick.

Still, the abrupt change in Mail behavior indicates something is awry in Apple land, and ‘Hide IP Address’ is a useful feature. Have to remember to re-enable it when the problem is resolved.

No, nothing is awry. It was a new feature added in iOS 17.5.
