HTML Signature Images are Being blocked
Hello,
My problem concerns the e-mail HTML Signatures. Specifically, I've been using my signature with great success on my windows machine without any problems. I cannot remember the exact version of Thunderbird I am using on that machine since at the moment I do not have any access to it.
Currently, I am using the product, namely Thunderbird, from my Ubuntu machine. Specifically, I am using version 78.7.1 (64-bit) of the software. When I am trying to append to my e-mail the .HTML file of my signature I get prompted the following warning at the bottom of my screen in a yellow banner: Thunderbird has blocked a file from loading into this message. The result is that the images, as the message says, do not appear on the e-mail. I can only see their outboxes and the text of the signature.
Following similar questions of Thunderbird users that encounter the same Error e.g., [1], [2], [3] I was unable to derive a solution.
Specifically, the solution suggested by the user Matt on [2] does not work for my case. The only type of exceptions I am allowed to introduce to the client regard websites, while my images are locally stored on my filesystem.
How can I possibly resolve this annoying issue? I cannot simply allow each image to load to my e-mail by clicking the banner and allowing them to be introduced to the message.
I do thank you in advance, Sincerely, ND

Update: I have solved the issue by myself. I don't know why exactly that worked but anyway. Inside the signature file, the images were inserted as follows: img src="file:/home/path/to/image/image.png" ... The change I've made was that I've inserted 2 extra '/' characters at the beginning of the images path like such: img src="file:///home/path/to/image/image.png" ... Then, after trying to compose an e-mail, all the images were displayed normally. So, problem solved!Read this answer in context 👍 0
