Using FF3, copying the whole page does not paste the image in the table...

You can use an extension Extended Copy Menu
that allows you to copy as HTML and then insert it into Thunderbird as HTML

all it does is paste html code into compose window.

use the INSERT menu and choose HTML

then paste it into the HTML dialog

I want to paste an image not HTML code. Are you saying paste the image
link? If so, this is workaround that is a pain and only works for a
source image in a web browser. I.E. no solution.

Sheesh, have you even TRIED it? Using the method I described you can
post an image. Simply highlight the image and press right click and use
copy as html.
Then in thunderbird, use Insert HTML and in the insert dialogue press
right click and choose paste. The image html will be posted into the
box, choose insert, and when you go back to your messages, voila, the
image is there.

Another means of doing the same thing for JUST images is
select the image, save it to disk, then user insert image in Thunderbird
and tell it what image on your hard disk to use, select the one you just
saved of course.

I know about the second kludge method. Extended Copy only works for FF
not for other sources, but I can't even get it to work as TB froze on
"attaching image...". Plus one can not select all images on a web page,
for example the Firefox Logo can not be selected, only right-clicked
(then no copy as HTML shows).

I can easily paste all the images on an HTML page from Firefox 3.0.1
into Thunderbird 2.0.0.16. Simply open the pave in Firefox an a
to select everything on the page, then c to copy it, then open an
HTML compose window in Thunderbird and put your cursor where you wnat it
in the compose windiw and v to paste it.

I covered this previously in the this thread or the other one. Cmd-A,
Cmd-C (in FF), then Cmd-V in TB works only in FF2 not FF3 for me. (I am
using Mac OS X tiger)

Well then you have a problem, as the command keys DO work in FF3.

There are existing bug reports about this problem on Mac OS X and Linux
but no one on the developer team seems to care.

This problem seems to be a TB bug. Can anyone tell me if pasting an
image into an HTML compose window on MAC OS X Tiger works for them?

If you cannot reliably recreate the problem, then you can't fix it.
If no one else can create the problem on their Mac, then how is a
developer going to 'work' on it - or even determine if it is a Firefox
problem or a OS one?

To paste an image use the copy as html (extension needed) and use the
insert html method.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4554
Extended Copy Menu

or Save the image and paste it in from there.

For example. If the problem of command keys not working was a Firefox 3
problem, then why does it work on my machine? You have to provide a
means of everyone 'getting' the problem in short, a reliable way to
recreate the problem, before it can be assessed and then worked on.
