My image doesn't show in my signature
Hello,
I've always used a HTML local file for my signature and it worked fine for many years.
Yesterday, I added an image at the end of the HTML file. Now, I know the HTML file is OK because, when I open it in a browser, my signature is perfect and the image is shown.
But when I try to write an email with this HTML signature, my image is not shown. Instead, I have a greyed out block at the end of my signature where the image is supposed to show.
What am I doing wrong?
With my anticipated thanks,
Henry

How did you edit your signature to incorporate the image?
Hello Zenos,
I simply added the HTML code for the image in my signature...
Since my image is local, I used:
img moz-do-not-send="false" src="data:image/jpeg;filename=logoforsignature.jpg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgECAwIDAAD/etc...

Yeah, but how did you edit it to add this code? What tools did you use, or what procedure did you follow?
Hello Zenos,
In this particular instance, I used my WYSIWYG HTLM editor to add the picture, namely Dreamweaver.
I repeat, it displays perfectly in all my browsers.

Did Dreamweaver generate that data URL for you? I am impressed.
Try editing the signature in Thunderbird. Insert|Image etc. Then compare the data URL it generates with that one you're currently using.
Dreamweaver builds pages for websites. On a webserver you usually have ancillary folders for graphic content. In contrast, an email message is "flat" and doesn't have accompanying folders, so data has to be embedded, or possibly, presented as a live link to a web server. Traditionally, Dreamweaver and other webpage building tools have not had the facilities to encode data inline.

Hello Zenos and thanks for your answer.
Yes, Dreamweaver generated that data for me. It costs me US$1.000 every year for it to do so.
Dreamweaver may well primarily build pages for websites, but it builds them in HTML code. Since Thunderbird uses HTML code in its signature, I really can't understand why it would be incompatible. Especially since the HTLM signature that I built with Dreamweaver was perfectly viewable in my browsers.
Maybe it's time that Thunderbird stopped having a proprietary HTML editor...
HTML code is HTML code. If it can be viewed in a browser, why can't be it be accepted by Thunderbird?
Regards,
Henry

Because it's email and not a Web page. There is no server feeding your document.
