Does Thunderbird let you insert from a url? If so, try this. I haven't used T-bird in a long time so I don't recall offhand. HTH.

I haven't done it in a long time, but can't you just right click on the picture a choose "send via email"?

Cynic- can you teach me how you attach a link in a word like you did with "this". I cannot figure that out.

Sure. It's just inserting the HTML tags.

Here's the basic stuff you need:
here's here you put the text you want linked

Here's how I did the above link:
this

In the quotation marks, simply insert the URL you want to link. Then, where I have "this" you can say anything you want to be highlighted as a link. One caution: Be sure you have quotation marks on each side and be sure to have the brackets on each side.

Make sense? Give it a try! :)

That should say "here's WHERE" you put the text you want linked. I'm a bit tired. Been a long day.

I'm not sure if you are trying ot post to "Photobucket" or are sending an email to someone with a photo attached.

To send an image to someone or an organization:
In Thunderbird:
1. Click on the "write" icon.
A sub-window appears in which to compose your message.

2. In the sub-window, click on "Attach"
Another sub-window appears for brousing and locating the file you wish to attach. You can attach any file that is on your computer. It has to be on the hard drive, a CD that is in the CDROM drive, a floppy that is in a floppy drive, or a USB drive that is plugged into one of the USB ports connected to your computer.

3. Fish around in the brouse window until you find the file you want, and then double-click on it. The full file name should appear on your "compose message" window. The full file name starts with the device followed with folders, subfolders, filename including its extension. Example:

D:\Genealogy\Surname\Family\filename.extension

4. Close the "brouse" panel and continue to compose your message.

Ok, thank you. I'll play with it tomorrow.

Cynic, that works if I use an image from My Pictures, but not directly from Photobucket. IOW, I have put an image on PB and deleted it from My Pictures., which I do routinely.

Jemdandy, that works, but I also get the attachment icon at the bottom of the email.

Danihoney, I get only the link.

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks to each of you.

First I click on write mail so the letter form will be there.Then I go to PB and click on the picture I want to send to enlarge it instead of it being a thumbnail version. After it's enlarged I right click then copy. From there go to the letter and click paste. It works every time for me that way.

mscsippy, that didn't work for me either. All I got in the email that came back was a white line.

I used to be able to just use the email line at PB.

Thanks,

Sue
