      only with the images that I will search for on Google Chrome ..
      the text copies/pastes correctly!
      yes, in my messaging settings I think the composing is in HTML..
      thank you for your interest in my "issue"

    Hello Marichka,

    Copying and pasting images from the Internet via Google Chrome into a Thunderbird message works perfectly!

    Proof:

    On a web page, right-click / Copy image:



    In a Thunderbird message, right-click / paste


    Result :

      but thanks anyway!!"

    Hello,

    1- Display Thunderbird Menu Bar
    Right-click at the top of the page and check → Menu Bar and the other bars
    Check and update to the latest version of Thunderbird.
    Click the menu with the three horizontal lines then the question mark icon.
    Or Tools then Options then tab Update.
    Click on Check for updates.

    Or install from the practical guide CCM.
    Or on the official site.

    2- Enable Drag & Drop in Firefox.
    Close Thunderbird.
    Launch the configuration editor.
    To do this, clear everything in the address bar (URL) and do a copy/paste or type:

    about:config

    Then press Enter.
    In the Search field paste:

    browser.launcherProcess.enabled

    Double-click the line to set the value to → false
    Close and restart Firefox.
    Restart Thunderbird and give it a try.


    3- Write a message
    Click on the second-to-last icon → Insert a link, an anchor, an image, a horizontal line or a table
    Click on Image in the list provided (link, anchor, image, horizontal line, table).
    Check the box ''Attach this image to the message''
    Click on the box ''Choose a file''.
    The explorer opens, go fetch your image and select it (click on your image).


    4- Editing and addressing
    Tools then Account Settings

    Tab "Composition and addressing" and check the box "Compose messages in HTML".


    If you have the rectangle with a red cross, you need to compact the various Thunderbird folders beforehand, right-click on the inbox etc then ''Compact''

    5- Temporarily disable your antivirus and other security suite if you have one.

    See you later

    Hello pistouri,

    I don’t see why go through all this fuss and tinker in the configuration editor when everything you describe is already the default options of a freshly installed Thunderbird!

    What I described in my previous post works without changing any configuration and answers the question asked.

      I think my Thunderbird install is bugged! I’m having issues with the outgoing mail server… I need to “go through all of this!!!”
      thanks for your help, it’s appreciated

        I think the best solution is to uninstall and then reinstall Thunderbird, but before that you need to back up Thunderbird. The simplest way to back up all of Thunderbird is to copy the following folder: C:\Users\Nom_de_l_utilisateur\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird To restore the data, simply copy this folder back to the same location.

    In short, only copying/pasting images from Chrome to Thunderbird doesn't work? Chrome to Paint or others works? Copying/pasting images from Firefox, Edge or others to Thunderbird works?
