I thought creating a simple HTML signature in Mozilla Thunderbird was going to be easy: Create a HTML page with an image and some texts. Oh how I was wrong.
To include a local image, you have to add the following attributes:
moz-do-not-send="false" border=0
It automatically had a border around the image which I did not want. This may have only been the case because I added a link to the image and the moz-do-not-send="false"
tells Thunderbird to send it with the email. The file source path has be absolute too meaning you have to type the full path starting with file:///
e.g:
src="file:///C:/Signature.gif
The end result was:
<img moz-do-not-send="false" border=0 src="file:///C:/Signature.gif">
The HTML file itself does not need the ,
tags at the top and bottom of the file.To set the signature in Thunderbird go to Tools > Account Settings
and under the account name itself tick “Attach this signature:” and click the choose button and find the HTML file.
