If you create a new HTML-formatted message and use external URIs for images, Thunderbird will automatically download them and attach them as inline images. However, that does not work with images referred over CSS, meaning the absolute URI stays. The problem with this is that some mail clients (including Thunderbird itself) will provide the recipient with a security/privacy warning that external images will be excluded instead of displayed inline.
