Arjun Narayan (ID: 000000aedecbc589) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/08/2022 This kinda works. It definitely decreases the width of the images in emails, making all text readable without scrolling. However the image itself has been squeezed to fit narrowly, distorting the image. It should ideally keep it's aspect ratio. Opening the image in a new tab shows the full image, and so I'll still keep using this, but hopefully it can be fixed.

Lexi Avalos (ID: 0000007fd2263715) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/14/2022 Works great. Very grateful for this, as an artist I'm always receiving huge images. This helps so much!

Rob Walters (ID: 000000c8e483320b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/21/2022 If the Chrome webstore allowed for "pay what it is worth", depending on how generous I was feeling I would "tip" $5 - $20 for this extension. It works and is now one less thing to get frustrated about.
