Potential bug with image handling in MH 2.6.0?

["Edward Wildgoose" <Ed@wildgooses.com>]

Hi Earl,

I upgraded recently to 2.6.0 from a 2.4 version I think(?)  What I noticed
is that some inline pictured pictures are being converted in a peculiar way.

Arguably this is a bug with Outlook Express, but what the user is doing is
taking a large picture, inserting it into the HTML message, then shrinking
the visible size on screen.  The width is being altered OK, but the height
is set to the old height

You can see some examples at http://www.mailasail.com/webdiary-mvko8

If you look at the very bottom picture (of a sailing boat), then the snippet
of HTML from the original email is as follows (complete message available if
it helps):

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial=20
size=3D2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbs=
p;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp=
;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&=
nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n=
bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nb=
sp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=20
<IMG style=3D"WIDTH: 213px; HEIGHT: 279px" height=3D827 alt=3D"" =
hspace=3D0=20
src=3D"cid:002701c23ee6$1fe5cfb0$0100007f@your9hpe8b9zly"; width=3D266 =
align=3Dbaseline=20
border=3D0></FONT></DIV>


I am pretty sure that the previous version of MHonarc handled this peculiar
chunk of HTML "correctly", ie as a proportionally resized picture.

Thanks for any pointers on how I can work around this
