Subsitution problem in Mass Mail

I am trying to have the avatar show up as an image in the body of a mass email.

1. Here is what is there in the code prior to sending - : <p><img src="[avatar]" /></p>
2. Here is what CB shows was sent - <p><img src=" domain.org/ [avatar]" /></p>
3. Unsurprisingly this is what arrives - <p><img src=" Domain.org/https://Domain.org/images/comprofiler/919_58337c199203c.png " />

which of course does not work.
Doing the same thing as a link works just fine.

Is JCE making the change or is Community Builder?

I have tried fiddling with the JCE settings but they do not seem to have any effect.

Any ideas appreciated.

[avatar] is outputting as expected (full live path to the avatar image). Something else is prepending domain a second time. Probably JCE doing it during editing is my best guess.

I suspected as much.

I worked to change the JCE Default profile but that changed nothing. I dont suppose that CB does anything to impact the JCE profile it is launched under?

CB isn't even aware JCE exists. JCE probably thinks the URL is a relative URL and is trying to correct relative URLs to absolute URLs. TinyMCE has a setting to adjust this and I assume so does JCE. That's likely the culprit.

After further observation I do believe the problem lies in CB and not JCE.

If I set the JCE parameter for "relative" in the JCE profile under editor parameters.

JCE returns the URL correctly in the document.as follows:
<p><img src="[avatar]" /></p>
<p><img src="images/images/barnardcastle.jpg" width="606" height="640" alt="barnardcastle" /></p> 

However, when the email arrives,  those source lines look like:
<p><img src=" PickwickClub.org/https://PickwickClub.org/images/comprofiler/919_58337c199203c.png " />

<p><img src=" PickwickClub.org/images/images/barnardcastle.jpg " width="606" height="640" alt="barnardcastle" />

It would apprear that CB adds the Domain in each case. This would be appropriate for the 'Barnard Castle " image in an email and not a
browser based web page. It would appear that the final URL is set after the substitution for [avatar].

Can you see if you get the same by trying to use [avatar] inside an <img/> ?

It llooks like, in the case of <img>,  CB does not distiinguish [avatar] from any other URL and assumes it is relative and therefore adds the domain name to the URL.
Therefore while you can put [avatar] into an email and it will produce a full URL, you cannot use it to embed an <img>. I would say that is a bug.
