Base64 inline images not displayed in Thunderbird (shown as empty space)

When I compose a message in Thunderbird that contains an inline base64-encoded image (for example, an HTML ), the image is correctly visible in the compose window.

However, after sending the message:

Other mail clients and devices display the inline base64 image correctly.

In Thunderbird (both in Sent and Inbox folders), instead of the image there is just an empty placeholder/blank space.

Steps to reproduce:

Compose a new HTML message in Thunderbird.

Insert an inline base64 image (e.g., copy-paste from clipboard or manually via ).

Send the message.

Open the sent message in Thunderbird or receive it on the same Thunderbird client.

Actual result: The inline image is not displayed — only empty space is shown.

Expected result: Thunderbird should correctly render base64-encoded inline images, as other clients do.
