links to images on web for signature failing after update
We have links to our facebook, twitter, and other social media png files in our signatures at work. Last week, these links started failing. If you copy the link out and paste in Firefox or other browser, the image shows up. The error message is:
There was a problem including the file facebook.png in the message. Would you like to continue sending the message without this file?
The html for including the link is: (with similar references for other social media)
<a id="facebook-input" class="social" href="https://www.facebook.com/companyname">
</a> <a id="twitter-input" class="social" href="https://twitter.com/companyname">
</a>
It worked fine until last week.

Thanks! That seems to have worked. I must have not seen that one while searching for a solution. Now I get to fix the Thunderbird signature on everyone's at work. :)

do you have the same issues if you turn off anti virus scanning of outgoing mail?
Yes. I turned off scanning of emails on my pc and tried a test message to another of my email accounts. Still have the problem. Huh, just noticed that the images were put in the original post, not the link to the images. Obviously, the link on the internet is valid.

including..... Hmmm your apparently familiar ( at least a little) with HTML.
Does your image tag have a moz-do-not-send="true" see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012528
What is currently happening if it is absent is each mail is downloading each images to your temp folder, and then including the mime encoded image as an attachment. Good for displaying the image to that without an active internet connection. Bad for the size of the mail and the overheads involved.
What is probably occurring is your anti virus scanner is scanning the temp file at the same time Thunderbird is trying to mime encode it. using moz-do-not-send="true" sidesteps the issue.
