attached images display too large

In the Mail Compose Window, after dragging an attachment pic there, look at the bottom right of the window for "Image Size".

As far as I know you cannot change that in a Forwarded eMail, without saving it, deleting it, & attaching it again

The image size menu is available when forwarding too.

Note that the image size you set this way is not only a matter of display: you will be sending a scaled down image. Additionally, Mail will remebember the size and will automatically use it the next time you attach an image if you forget to manually change it back.

Hi Adam, that option disappears here with Forward, what format pic is it yours is using?

I haven't noticed that this question is in the Tiger forum.

Unfortunatelly I don't have access to Mac OS X Tiger right now. Under Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, the option is visible if there is an image attachment larger than 320x240 px. It applies to any common bitmap image format (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP – in general any format supported by Preview except PDF).

Ah thanks, maybe I was experimenting with too small of pics!?

Hmm, interesting...

Mail will remebember the size and will automatically use it the next time you attach an image if you forget to manually change it back.

And if the last setting was small, the menu may be there, but will have no effect since you cannot Scale up!

Also, it seems that if the pic is in quoted nesting the size setting has no effect!?

Yes, it works only for downsizing.

On Mac OS X 10.5 and later it works regardless of quotation. If it does not on Mac OS X Tiger, it must be a bug that was fixed later.

Hmmm, not here on 10.5.8, maybe it's another setting somewhere affecting it.
