Description

Hello

this is only a feature request, not an issue.

There could be an option to resize an added image on the fly to a lower resolution. In the options or in a dialog when I add a picture (JPG etc.).
There is no way in k9mail to do this.
Some email-clients can do this, not sure if it is easy done in k9mail, but it would be extremely useful.
At the moment I use an external app to resize pictures and send them to k9mail then.

By the way, what I dream of is a kind of option to use k9mail as Chat Client, e.g. like WhatsApp, Signal, Threema, etc. Could be done I guess and would be very handy on a Smartphone :)

Environment

K-9 Mail version: 5.010

Android version: CM 13 nightly of 21.10.2016 on Samsung Galaxy S4

Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): IMAP

Thanks.
