Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 372080

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007120405 Minefield/3.0b2pre
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

When someone sends you a bunch of camera images, TB displays them but they don't fit the message window.  Firefox 3's solution for this (automatic image resize and a +/- magnification cursor) seems perfect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive an e-mail with a bunch of big _DSCxxx.jpg images as attachments.
2. View the message.
Actual Results:  
TB shows the images, but from modern digital cameras they don't fit.

Expected Results:  
TB should work like Firefox 3 does for me: display the images resized to fit the message window, and provide the awesome +/- magnifying glass to zoom/unzoom them.

I think Firefox had a preference for this and in FF3 browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing is true by default.  My TB2 has the same preference in TB Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor defaulting to false, but setting this to true doesn't seem to do anything in Thunderbird.

mail.enable_automatic_image_resizing is true for tb3.
