Signature looks perfect with embedded image, but Thunderbird won't send it. It just keeps trying to attach the image for ever and never sends the email. I must have visited every forum & helpsite on the web by now, and all give more or less the same html lines for the signature file, so I really, really don't understand why it's not working. (neither with Ubuntu nor with Windows, both TB 2.0) I can’t get this to work. Signature looks perfect with embedded image, but Thunderbird won’t send it.

It's just a cool trick with Thunderbird and might not work with other email clients. Your solution will work as well, but in general you shouldn't reference images external to the email itself. You really should attach all the images as part of the email message that you are using inside the HTML of the email message. This is the correct way to send HTML emails and will work with all email clients and also will prevent some clients from not rendering the images without the user clicking a button. @Tom - It works because Thunderbird realizes that you are referencing a local image and includes it in the multipart MIME body of the email.

When the recipient gets the e-mail, his or her e-mail client will look on his local hard drive (because you're referencing a local image, and it's local to whomever) and not find it, displaying a blank image. If you post the image to the web, and then reference it like http://www.example.com/hello.jpg, then it should work fine. This can’t work.
