Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

This link works fine in Firefox:
https://secure.runway.net.au/bp/cms/emails/bp_wildbean_without_voucher/images/spacer_red.jpg

But try these steps in Thunderbird:

1.  Compose new email
2.  Click in body and choose menu Insert/Image
3.  Paste into Image Location:  https://secure.runway.net.au/bp/cms/emails/bp_wildbean_without_voucher/images/spacer_red.jpg
4.  Wait a second or two
5.  Immediately you get a message saying:  Unable to verify the identity of secure.runway.net.au as a trusted site.

Certificate matches the domain, is issued by VeriSign Class 3 Secure
Server CA, and is not out of date.  If you click "Examine Certificate"
it says "Could not verify this certificate for unknown reasons".
