Thanks, Curtis. LaunchBar provides very convenient Actions for easily 
resizing images. You select an image in the Finder, Instant Send it to 
LaunchBar, and type a few keys so the Resize to 75%, 50%, 25%, etc 
Actions appear. It's pretty easy.

But the tedium (good word) I see with that workflow in MailMate is: I 
drag'n'drop the image to my mail message. The Preview shows the inline 
image is too big. So I have to remove the image attached, go back to the 
file in the Finder, resize a copy using LaunchBar, drag it back to the 
mail message and hope it has the right size. If it doesn't, go back 
through all steps again. I have given up using inline images because of 
that, I just send them as attachments and lose the visual advantage that 
inline images provide.

That's why I think the best way would be to use the Markdown syntax and 
be able to resize the view of the inline image directly in the mail 
message. But I have no idea how to do that, of course.

Thanks to all.
