I received email with embedded pictures. It had been forwarded 3 times to get to me according to the bars in the left margin. No attachments are listed.
When I try to forward the message the new compose window has the text, but no images, and no attachments. If I send, the recipient gets no images.
The images are probably not attachments but embedded HTML.
So, they are img tags loading images from some remote site.
Your friend may just have the loading of remote images disabled in his/her email client.
One way to attach the images and forward them on would be to right-click them and save them, then attach them to the message yourself before you send it.
This is just a guess . . . the only way that I know of to have images visible in an email and not have any attachments.
If it is embedded html, and since I have html turned on, why does it not get forwarded?
Whether or not they are images from a remote site, they still showed up in my mailbox. If there were links to remote images, they are missing from the forwarded message box.
Thunderbird forwarding images problem - workaround
I did not find why 'forward' did not include messages, but I did find that if I right-clicked in the message window and selected 'edit as new' I could pass the message on with the images included.
