Thunderbird 1.5 and embedded images
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2006 1:23 am
FYI - Thunderbird 1.5 has a little quirk in the way that it handles embedded images. If you forward a message with embedded pictures (versus attached files), Thunderbird 1.5 often won't include them. This appears to be a side effect of its anti-spam feature, and it didn't occur in earlier versions.
Here's the workaround for this annoyance. Instead of telling Thunderbird to forward the message, right-click in an open area of the message body and select "Edit as New...". Remove the original message's recipients, select the new recipients, and send it. It's a minor nuisance, but it works. Hopefully the Mozilla crew will fix this in the next release.
