Make pasted images responsive by default?

Thunderbird Ynstellingen

When I paste an image in a new message, and I want it to be responsive, I have to click Insert, HTML, and then add a style attribute to the img tag, like so:

style="max-width:100%"

Is there any way to add this piece of code automatically? Or to change to default code Thunderbird uses?

Thanks.

responsive to what... Pasting an image is making a copy of the original so really I do not understand the question I suppose.

Sorry Matt, I should have been clearer: I meant responsive, as in responsive design. I meant the image would adapt to the size of the screen, especially on mobile.

Currently, any image wider than a mobile screen (approx 380px) will overflow on the side, forcing the user to scroll horizontally to view the full image. Hence the style="max-width:100%" I have to insert each time.

Thanks!

yeah, scaling is not a strength of Thunderbird. But in my opinion the whole editor is not a strength.

About the only shortcut I can offer you is to double click the image to open the advanced settings for the image.

Thanks Matt. I spent a few hours (!) looking for a solution that would display correctly in the most popular email clients, but there's always something missing. Most notably, the pasted image produces an img tag without width or height, which makes it impossible to style correctly across clients. I'll explore other solutions using code snippets or something. Thanks again.
