Thunderbird Image Auto-Resize
== Project Description ==
Write an 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 sizessize. 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. References: #maildev

- Small change in release plan. I am releasing the completed addon using ImageMagick's "convert.exe" in 0.3 version. The
0.4 version will be utilizing the new code that Mozilla has incorporated into Thunderbird.
 
5/Dec/2008<br />
- So I am able to package a static build version of ImageMagick's "convert.exe" along with my Addon. Just when I was ready to
release this important update, the beta version of Thunderbird 3 has included Mozilla's image resizing code. With this I am now
aiming to use that to have a much cleaner addon for image resizing.
 
30/Nov/2008<br />
- I am trying to use the nsIProcess to use a Open Source command line
program called [http://www.imagemagick.org ImageMagick]. When successful
it can resize the other formats that are only detected right now.

0.2 released:
- The addon can now detect the following file formats: JPEG PNG JPG DPX EXR GIF SVG TIFF BMP
- The JPEG and JPG attachments issue is fixed and works well for resizing them.
- Other formats are detected but cannot be resized in this release.

0.2 expectations:
- I would like to now add the ability to detect all of the major picture formats as currently it only triggers on JPEG formats.
- Fix the javascript errors in 0.1.
