View source for Thunderbird Image Auto-Resize

== 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.

   Released the 0.1 version. Although not the latest version I have, this is the one that works, the changes after this have 
   caused some java script error which I am in the process of fixing.

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

13/Oct/2008
   Modified the 0.1 deliverable based on current status.

   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.
