<p dir="auto">Thanks Glenn</p>
<p dir="auto">So I guess the only option is to scale the image before I add it to the MailMate Composer...</p>

<p dir="auto">The markdown syntax used by MailMate with  does not support extra image parameters like “width”. Other markdown systems have extended the markdown syntax to include some embedded <img> tags that enable more control, but MailMate does not recognize any HTML in its markdown parser.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hello fellow MailMaters</p>
<p dir="auto">I reckon the following <em>most</em> have come up in the mailing list, but I couldn’t find anything:</p>
<p dir="auto">How can I set the width of an included image?</p>
<p dir="auto">Here some more details. The markup for included images looks like this:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; border: thin solid gray; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw; background-color: #E4E4E4;"><code style="padding: 0 0.25em; background-color: #E4E4E4;">[ "alt text" ]
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">How can I add a hint to set the width in the display of the image to, say, 250px?</p>
<p dir="auto">Many thanks for any pointers!</p>
<p dir="auto">Happy emailing,<br>
