It is in the Config Editor.

Menu bar: Tools: Options: Advanced section: General tab Or from the "three bar" menu button on the top right: Options: Options: Advanced section: General tab

Click the Config Editor button I've circled in my screenshot.

Paste "mail.compose.attach_http_images" into the Config Editor, then double-click the entry to change it from false to true.

I went thru the procedure, but emails with pictures when forwarded still don't include the pictures. To check, I went back to the config editor and found that my change was still there. What happens is in place of the picture in the forwarded email, it displays the link for the picture. Instead of the attached picture, I get http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/2013/kilroy5.jpg

sounds to me like there might be a malformed email. But have you fried sending a forwarded email to yourself. What you see in the composer is not always when the recipient sees

Isent it to myself, and the picture links showed, but not the picture.

Then is sounds like the images references in the email are malformed. MAil from the outlook mail client is often malformed and the images will not forward. Forwarding as an attachment is a workaround however. (the forward button has a drop down that displays the forward as attachment option.

The images seem to be good. When I open the link shown in the forward attempt, it opens a good picture. I don't understand the 2nd part of your message. The attach button only lets me attach a file, not the message I'm trying to forward.

they say a picture is worth a thousand words. That is what I see when I click the little drop down arrow beside the word forward.

That's interesting. I never noticed that little down arrow next to forward. Oh well, live and learn.

Anyway forwarding the message as an attachment has the same result. No pictures.

I give up. I'll just continue doing what I've been doing; opening each URL in Word and pasting it back into the message I want to forward in the place of the URL. I had hoped that that statement in the update of T Bird was going to fix this.

Thanks so much for your assistance. You certainly tried.

I have two issues with what you have just said.

• An email forwarded as an attachment is identical to the message you received. it is not changed in anyway. It is as if your message was saved as an EML file and that EML file was attached to a new email. So if the problem you are having replicates in the forward at attachment. It is not a Thunderbird issue. Try looking at your anti virus that may be messing things up when it scans stuff outgoing or incoming.

• A good way to make an email unreadable is paste anything from word into it.

What I do is make a word document with all the pictures in it, and forward that document as an attachment to an email. Getting back to one of your previous statements, "Then is sounds like the images references in the email are malformed". Since no matter where the picture comes from, I always have the problem, it's unlikely that everyone sends "malformed" pictures. So I think it IS a Thunderbird problem. BTW I tried disabling my anti virus, and that didn't help.
