Sending mail with photos
I use to be able to send photo's but not anymore. I have looked thru all the suggestions but can't find the answer. I am assuming that one needs to use file link, but if I choose the file link the recipient either doesn't get the email or deletes it because they now don't recognize the sender. If I ignore the file link option the recipient doesn't get the photo just the email body. What has changed in Thunderbird. I use Runbox for my main email and Gmail as alternative.

There has been no significant change in how to send or receive attachments such as photos in many years and it can still be done as always. Please describe in greater detail what happens when you try, including all error messages you see.
The Filelink feature is not usually necessary. That feature is intended for very large attachments that are likely to be rejected by the sender's or recipient's email system. Most single photos are small enough that they can be sent via email without a problem.
Here's an article about how to use attachments.
