At  the  time  of writing HTML formatting had apparently been fixed in
the  latest  versions.  The BugTraq report has even been closed.

Since  then,  I  too have been disappointed to see images swelling the
HTML  again and have reported this to the developers. My apologies for
the mislead - entirely unintentional, I assure you. I will be pressing
RITlabs  to  re-open  the bug report to allow further investigation of
the issue.

Marck,

I've now upgraded from v6.8.8 to v7.3.12, but not all the "extra wide" 
emails are reformatted to fit inside the message pane of the triple-pane 
window.  Most disappointed.
