I never encoutered any problem replying to messages containing images, including 
attached, inline and HTML.
If I want to keep the image(s) with my reply, I just hold the shift key when 
clicking the reply button.


"The problem with Thunderbird is that is seriously re-downloads the whole 
message when replying rather than using the local cached copy. It does the same 
for IMAP email servers (a known bug), but it does seem like the bug has not yet 
been reported for (NNTP) newsgroup servers yet. So you might want to do that..."

Thorsten, I already reported about that problem a long time ago. It's the same 
problem that cause a message to be re-downloaded when saving the attachment(s).

The answer I got was that Thunderbird had no way to know it the attachment was 
in cache or not, and assumed that it was not there. A sane aproach would be to 
first check the cache and only request it if not found localy...
