Attaching an Image to Your Email Signature in Mozilla Thunderbird

While this Thunderbird tutorial focuses on Windows, please note that Thunderbird is a “cross-platform” email client: it runs and operates the same way on Windows, Apple’s Mac OS X and Linux.  View the entire post here http://bit.ly/2e6zm6

Attaching an Image to Your Email Signature

Thunderbird allows you to include a graphic file in your email signature; to make sure that the image will be embedded in your email, and appear to recipient, you do need to set the proprietary “moz-do-not-send” attribute to “false” inside the HTML tag. Example:

<img moz-do-not-send="false" src="file:///C:/image.gif" alt="Signature"> Joe Dohn <img moz-do-not-send="false" src="http:///domain.com/image.gif" alt=""> Joe Dohn

This will ensure that Thunderbird does in fact include the image file in your email signature; if the moz-do-not-send attribute is set to “true”, or omitted altogether, Thunderbird will ignore the image. A big thanks to Vick for raising the issue!

Whether you use a local image (on your computer) or a local image (online), you need to explicitly include the full image path in the signature file.
