moz-no-send=true

[Micky]

I inserted an image and sent an email with TB. No image arrived.

I tried it again and this time I noticed, under Advanced Edit, was
moz-no-send=true . Well no wonder it didn't go. When I set it to
moz-no-send false, it went.

How come true is the default? Why would someone insert an image if he
didn't want to send it? Can I change the default to false?

Thanks.

How did you insert the image? Insert > Image, then insert the location
in the field provided. Did you have "Attach this image to the message"
checked?

What do you mean Advanced > Edit? I don't see that in the composition
window.

I don't see any moz-no-send in the Config Editor.

Is this something provided by an extension?

What operating system and version of Thunderbird?

Yes.

No. It came checked but I unchecked it to conform to the directions
someone gave me. I see now that leaving it checked gets rid of that
moz-no-send. Thanks a lot. Makes it work and saves me a step.

I looked at the checkbox and Next to it it said "Attack this image to
the message" and to the right of that was a button marked "Choose
file...", and I thought the checkbox only applied to that.

Advanced Edit... It's in the attach image box, that is, Image
Properties. It's very dim until you fill in the location.

Thanks for looking. Leaving the box checked is the same thing.

The presence of that box "Attach this image to the message" gives rise
to the same question I had. Okay, it's the default, but apparently
some people want to insert an image and then not attach it and not
send it. Can you imagine a time one would want to do that???

Vista and the most recent.

Actually saves me 4 steps plus typing the word "false".

Ah, I did not look there, and don't attach many images to emails.

Appears the problem is solved. 😂

Yes. When the image is large and is also on a web server, and you want
the recipient's email client download the image from the web server
instead of including a large amount of binary data in the email itself.

For example:

<img alt="Canaletto Alnwick"
src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Canaletto_Alnwick.jpg"
moz-do-not-send="true" height="1627" width="2000">

I postponed answering for a day in order to have time for more
testing. However, I'm farther behind on other stuff than I was
yesterday. I was mistaken, I see, because there were times when
a img showed up but there was no url, just said src="".

Even though it certainly had a url when I inserted it. I suppose that
was for some other reason. Because do-not-send would not send
anything, I suppose.

[Ralph Fox]

Odd. The URL shows up for me. Here is an animated screenshot
of what I see ---> http://i.imgur.com/dFRXooS.gifv

I meant in the received email. I guess I didn't say that I was
sending them to myself, to see what the email would look like.

But it must have been when I did something else wrong too. Quien
sabe?

[Ralph Fox]

Odd. It works when I send messages, and it works when others
send messages too.

By way of example, go to the thread "automatic routing of sent
messages" 2 weeks ago in this group, and look at the first reply
(by "Good Guy"). The first reply is in HTML, and it contains an
image with a URL and moz-do-not-send="true". The URL does show
up -- in the HTML source you will see this:

<img
alt="TB Settings"
src="http://s32.postimg.org/cchpda4n9/2016_05_09_2158.png"
moz-do-not-send="true" border="2" height="239" width="718">
