When I receive an image attached to an email in Gmail I get a small preview image and View and Download links. When I click View in IE9 the image opens in a new tab but rather than it being the raw image, it is wrapped in some HTML which stops it from being automatically resized by IE9.
<html><title>photo.JPG</title><body><img src=/mail/?attid=0.2&disp=emb&view=att&th=130f139xyz963055></body></html>
How can I either stop Gmail from wrapping it in HTML (so IE9 can resize it) or make IE9 resize it automatically?
I realise that using another browser is an option but I need to find a solution for IE9.
Best Answer
I haven't tried it explicitly on IE9 but it works on the older IEs:
Click and hold (drag) the image to the tabs bar which should open a new tab with the image's URL, therefore containing only the image without surrounding HTML.
Automatic resizing should work in this tab.
Update
After trying on IE9 myself, i must conclude the above doesn't work :( See my other answer ...
