How can I auto resize an image to proper size when writing emails ?

1647546850

I used to use Foxmail as my email client. When writing emails with oversized images, I could right-click the image and select the "Auto resize it to proper size" option to make the image easier to read. However, I can't find the same function in Thunderbird. Do I need to use an extension, or is there another way? Can someone please help me? It's really frustrating.

Try Shrunked Image Resizer (https://github.com/memeller/shrunked).

- In the right column, click the 'Latest' button

- scroll down and click right-click 'shrunked_image_resizer-5.10.3.xpi' > click 'Save link as' and save it somewhere

- open TB menu > Add-ons and Themes

- click the gear to the right > Install Add-on From File

- navigate to where you saved the .xpi file > double-click it

Thanks, but I think I didn't make myself clear. I'm not looking to change the original size of images — I just want them to display properly, like Foxmail does with width="90%" and height="auto" so they fit the text area without being cropped. Does Thunderbird have anything like that?

Not that I know of.
