I have tried for two days to get an image to show along with the text
in my email signature. I have tried four versions of html code all of
which work fine in a browser, but only the text shows in TB with an
empty box for the image. Double clicking the box shows the image, but
it never shows when sending a message. Below is a typical version of
the html code for the image:

<img width=actual align=left hspace=12
src="seventhdeceptioncoversmall.jpg"
<seventhdeceptioncoversmall.jpg moz-do-not-send="false"

I also tried putting the image on a web page and providing the link--
that doesn't work either.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Gene

Hi Gene,

If that is what TB is inserting as the code, it's incorrect, unless you
pasted it incorrectly. The tags aren't properly closed for one thing. I
would suggest using the remote location for the email as it doesn't
require attaching the image, but some users block remote images and it
won't show up.

Read here and see if you can straighten it out.

Thanks, Terry, for the suggestion. This code, one of the four I've
tried, is correctly pasted. Could you suggest what you think should be
changed to get this to work?

First, the complete path to the file should be used. As an example, if
the graphic was located on C:\Data, this would be inserted:

If it was on a webpage,

Thank you so much for your help--it worked. At first, it didn't, and I
wasn't surprised because I'd tried the full path before without
success. Then I discovered the html editor I was using didn't save the
full path when I added it. Using notepad to make the change did the
job. Again, thanks.

Here is my solution.

First the background: I created my signature in Bluefish and then inserted the image. However, if I created a new message, the image did not display when I imported the html signature into Thunderbird.

I found the fastest way to get the absolute path to the "file:///" was to drag and drop the image into the Bluefish editor. When I used the dialog boxes to insert the image through the menu, it would use the relative path.
