Project Name
Thunderbird Image Auto-Resize
Project Description
Write an extension for Thunderbird that gives functionality similar to that of Outlook, where image attachments in an email can be automatically re-sized to one of a set of smaller sizes. This is helpful for users who would otherwise try to send megabytes of image data, when they can safely scale the images down and still share their pictures with friends.

Compiling the extension to upload the 0.1 release. Some javascript errors are popping. I think it is due to the CR/LF problem.

Added some more links. Found that Thunderbird allows you to customize the size of the embedded image, they have a dialog for it. It is in the file -> mozilla/ editor/ ui/ dialogs/ content/ EdImageOverlay.js
This is BIG boost to my search and looks like will make things much easier. 0.1 release now seems closer.
