Hi, I created an html signature in Thunderbird about 2 months ago and, up until this morning, it was working just fine. Now, when I save or send an email, I get this message (I use Thunderbird un French so this is a translation): "A problem occurred during the insertion of a98h.png in the message file. Do you want to continue sending the message without the file?" The strange thing is that there are 3 images in my signature and only 2 seem to be causing a problem. All 3 are hosted on Imageshack. I even tried re-uploading them and using new urls, but I get the same problem. Do you know why I have this problem? Thanks,

Did you enter the signature html code in the Account Settings box, or create an html signature with the TB message composer? The latter method is easier, but you have to attach the images:

As mentioned above, it's best to attach local images.

Suggest you save the images on your computer and then add them to signature html file. Did this work?

When I do so, I can send the email but the receiver still sees a broken image...

Thank you for your answers. In stead of inserting the html directly in Thunderbird, I attached the html file and it seems to be working!
