How to configure Thunderbird not to embed images which are located on the Internet for a signature?
I have setup an email signature in HTML and an image inside the HTML is being linked to a web address. Once the email is send I can't view the image in my email, however I can see that the image has been attached to the email itself. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I want the image to be shown without it being attached to the email as an attachment.

I just sent myself a message with a link to an image on a web server, and the "attach this file" option un-ticked, and it seems to work OK.
The link was thus:

Note the moz-do-not-send="true".

How was the HTML signature set up?
In Thunderbird's account settings, by hand?
As a separate HTML file, and if so, was this created within Thunderbird or in a separate application?
I have created the html in sublime text at first. I then encountered an error in safari so I had to open the code in Chrome, save the page and alter the code to remove the HTML and Body tags. (Random Mac client error) (I'm now setting it up on someone else's PC)
I then copied the following code

Pasted it into the Thunderbird HTML Signature section.
(Ignore the comment bellow, I didn't spot the edit button in time)

Thank you the moz-do-not-send="true". did the trick.
Are you also aware of any tricks to prevent Gmail to label the signature as unrelated to the content of the email. When I send an email to any gmail account, the signature will remain hidden unless I click the 3 dots to view the remaining content such as a quote but also the signature.
Gmail labels signatures as unimportant due to not being unique content. Im sure there must be a way to prevent this from happening.
