306459 - Cannot paste images from clipboard into message compose window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223909

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jeff Blaine]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I have found no way to add an image to a message other than to save it to disk
first.  One cannot snip an image into the Windows clipboard and paste it "into"
the message in any form (inline, attachment, etc).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into any image program.  Cut out a portion of an image and Copy it to the
clipboard.
2. Try to get it from the clipboard into a new outgoing message without saving
it to disk.

Actual Results:  
No results -- that's the problem.  There is no option to "Paste Special" and
"Paste" is greyed out because apparently anything other than text is not legit.

Expected Results:  
...allowed me to paste data from the clipboard into an outgoing message, either
as an attachment or inline.
