Add option to insert an inline image

Original issue I have an HTML template. When I go to Variables > Other > File, then select a file, which then adds, for example, [[FILE=/path/to/kittens/fluffles.jpg]] to the template. However instead of inserting the image into the email, it inserts the text ÿØÿà (the text is the same no matter what image I choose).

Tested on Thunderbird 60.2.1 (64-bit) on Ubuntu Linux with Quicktext 1.2.

I was mistaken about the above functionality. I assumed it would insert images inline, but I just noticed in the wiki that it only inserts the contents of a text file. Therefore, as a feature request, I suggest adding the option to add an inline image. This would be useful, for example, when making a business signature and including your company’s logo and your photo. I can add an attachment, which would kind of work, however I don’t know how to reference the Content-ID header for that attached file in the template.

May I suggest to make this functionality more accessible to users? Variables > Other > Image Opens up a dialog where a jpg/jpeg/png/gif file can be selected and is then inserted as a base64 encoded img tag into the editor.

This is now possible with the new IMAGE tag.
