Thunderbird 153.0.3 – Clickable HTML Signature Image Not Working

Thunderbird Dërgoni dhe merrni email-e

Thunderbird version: 153.0.3 (64-bit), Meadow, release channel, fully up to date.

I can successfully insert my local PNG into a composed HTML email, tick “Attach this image to the message,” and add a hyperlink to the image. The hyperlink works when the email is sent.

The problem occurs when trying to use this permanently as the account signature. HTML signatures I've tried either lose the image, show a broken-image icon, or fail to preserve the clickable image when used automatically.

I have also tested an HTML signature using a local file:///C:/... image reference, which produces a broken-image icon in Thunderbird.

I do not want to host the image remotely. I want the PNG embedded in the HTML/signature and sent with each email.

Can you confirm the correct method specifically for Thunderbird 153.0.3 on Windows, and whether there is a current issue with embedded/Base64 images or clickable image signatures in this version?

This is an HTML issue, not a Thunderbird issue. See this article for assistance: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/signatures#w_signatures-stored-in-files

Thanks David. I have followed those instructions, including creating the signature in Thunderbird's HTML composer via Insert > Image, adding the URL link in Image Properties, and selecting “Attach this image to the message.” The image and hyperlink work in the composed/sent test email. The issue occurs when saving that composition as HTML and then selecting that HTML file under “Attach the signature from a file instead.” At that point the image is either missing/broken or the hyperlink is not retained.

Is there a specific HTML image source format Thunderbird expects when the image is local and needs to be embedded/attached with the permanent signature?

This is normal HTML for that situation: use the img tag for this. see sample. <img src="file://C:/Users\xxx/Downloads/yourphoto.jpg" width="150" height="200" alt="" title="" />
