A lot of emails have attachments. How do I insert ALL of the saved attachment images. at one time ?

I am writing a new email. I have a batch of images (14) to insert. I click on insert on compose tool bar and select "image", then on choose file. I am checking "Attach this image" and "Don't use alternate text" I have tried to mark several at 1 time in the selection window by using "control" A or "control" and highlight with mouse or select first and additional or use; first and "shift" mark last. Basically the way you do in a file manager. only 1 file will open.

That dialogue comes with tools to set the size and position of the inserted image, along with links and alternative text, so it fundamentally is not suitable for working with multiple insertions.

Do you really need/want to insert the images? Could they be sent as attachments? That's just a trivial drag-and-drop exercise, as in the file manager. Drag and drop onto Thunderbird's addressing box, above the message text.

An alternative to Insert on the menu is to drag and drop an image into the message body. I find, to my surprise, that it allows multiple images to be dragged and dropped, but you have little say in their placement. They all insert as one contiguous block, all back-to-back, and it's quite hard to shoehorn text in between them.

I need to put text of pic description in between each one. They are a bunch of pics from 1910 and need to be explained. If I inserted all pics in a column; then I could insert text between them.

thanks for trying.

If you insert a table you can add pics in each of the table"rooms" and have another "room" to fill in your text

I still would have to individually insert each pic.

I think I'd do it in my word processor, convert it to PDF and mail it as an attachment. It sounds like it is stretching the capabilities of email, and the presentation in your recipients' email clients may be unpredictable.

The table is a splendid suggestion, but won't ease your primary challenge of inserting all the pictures.

But do try drag-and-drop.

A pdf is good. Here is a table after I send it to myself

Thanks to all who "scratched their head" to help me. I guess it can't be done without using another program or processing individually.

Many thanks

Just for the record you can insert several pics at one time in each column and you can separate them with a blank and new-lines and you can add text in between. You can move them around also. But you have to make the pics in the right size, otherwise they might swell to original size when it reach its destination.
