Sometimes an image in the e-mail viewing window actually scales down horizontally to the size of the window and gives you the option to click on it to view at 100% zoom. Sometimes it does not... more often not. Makes for a pretty unreliable feature. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an e-mail with a large (too big to fit window) image. 2. Get lucky and it might resize to fit the window horizontally. 3. Try clicking on the e-mail over and over again, resize the application window, call it names, etc. Actual Results: Give up and just open in Photoshop or other external previewer because it probably won't resize but you might get lucky. Expected Results: What it is suppose to do.... resize the image horizontally to fit the e-mail viewing area. I just downloaded this and I am using the previous account info from Thunderbird 2.
Can you share one email with us that behaves that way ? Do you have the issue in -safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ? When this happens , are there any error messages in Tools -> Error console ?

No error messages, still happening in safe mode. I am sending one that is doing it right now to: ludovic@mozillamessaging.com.
This comes up on the SENT message that I just sent.... it comes up 8 times at once (I am in safe mode): Warning: Cannot specify value for internal property. Error in parsing value for '-x-system-font'. Declaration dropped.

A little background: That feature was added in bug 372080 and was designed to work for attached images only, and not inline images. The example mail is using an inline image, which has never used re-scaling for me. (see my comments in that bug) You can see the feature in action if you send yourself a large attached image. There is also a hidden pref involved (browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing) which seems to control the initial state of the re-scale. So, unless someone would like to use this bug to extend the feature to inline images, this bug should be resolved as invalid.
It really needs to be implemented as a feature then if possible because in real world use it seems like the feature doesn't work correctly. For instance where I work I receive e-mail from many clients and if only some of them send pictures as actual attachments then it makes the feature kind of pointless since I am going to have to open Photoshop or Preview anyway for the other "inline" attachments. But some is better than none I suppose. Anyway, thank you for the prompt responses to my "bug" report.
I take your comments as permission to change this bug to an enhancement request. Summary: There is no easy way to view an over-sized image that has been inserted into an HTML composition. Bug 372080 provided that for images sent as attachments, but I would argue that if a new user is sending an HTML message, what more discoverable way is there than to well, Insert Image. I think that a right-click context menu item would suffice.

It also happens in Seamonkey. 2.1 works fine (earlier versions worked too), anything higher than 2.1 doesn't work at all. Since it has been working for a long time, this doesn't sound like an "enhancement" how has the code changed for this since 2.1?
Auto shrink to fit should be the default for all <img> elements, and should behave just like inline image attachments do currently when overflowing the messagepane/window. Brief spec is: 1. The current restriction of this functionality on <img> due to class = moz-attached-image would be removed. 2. Current moz-attached-image css would apply to all <img>. 3. The pref "mail.enable_automatic_image_resizing" would be removed (as would associated code in mimemoz2.cpp). It's easy enough to click to get original size. 4. This would apply to all <img> in mail, nntp, feed (summary only, not web page) content. Blake, if you agree with the above I can do a patch.

Sounds good to me! Be careful that we don't expand images that don't take up the full width, though. :) Thanks, Blake.
Flags: needinfo?(bwinton)
The existing methods already handle that. The one thing is link images; I think in messagepane it's more relevant to size the image. So if an image is in zoom mode, a right click context will be needed to Open in Browser (if it's not autoshrunk, it will behave as a usual link click).

some images may hardcode a height attribute, use height: auto to ensure proportional scaling.

Thanks for doing this. I ran with this in a local build and tested a variety of inline images. Worked fine except for one little nit. If you have an image with a natural width high enough to cause overflow, but an inline style that shrinks the image, then the re-size widget appears but is ineffective. Maybe you could avoid that by using "computed style width" instead of naturalwidth to determine if it re-sizable. I'm sure this is an edge case, but could cause confusion for some.
thanks for testing joe. the solution to the inline style case is not immediately clear; changing naturalWidth to clientWidth solves the problem on initial display, but results in bad behavior on resizing, as clientWidth is alternately reported as either the style width or actual width (seems like a deeper bug) and results in constant scrollbar on/off on each resize event if a true shrink is needed per messagepane size.
Attached patch imageScaling.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
this should fix inline styles and resizing. the extreme tester will note that if a resize makes pane and styled image exactly pixel equal, zoom will appear; nothing to be done as if = is used the problem reappears. also note that !important is added to enforce the shrinktofit (a really stubborn style can add its own).

Attached patch imageScaling.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
handle the case where the image is already shrunk (width: 100%) to allow zoom in to naturalWidth, to have a consistency of experience regardless of inline css.

Ian, does SeaMonkey want this? Nice feature, simple patch... Which would allow us to do the cleanup mentioned below...
