Hi, we've had a few reports of people seeing our images stretched despite them having the ''lock aspect ratio' box ticked. It's hard for us to get sensible email client info out of people unfortunately & we can't reproduce it ourselves. Is this something you're working on? Should be easy enough to check/fix on email on acid or something but I don't have an account anymore since I've been paying for your service:-)

Thanks for your work on maily!

Hi @arikchakma - this isn't fixed for us. The style tag of the outputted image is:

style="display:block;outline:none;border:none;text-decoration:none;width:626px;height:396.29838709677415px;max-width:100%;border-radius:0"

However, the container has max-width: 600px which causes the image to become squashed horizontally given that the size of the image exceeds ~580px (accounting for container padding) and the height value of the image is fixed.

I think the fixed height property would have to be removed/set to auto to allow the image to resize as the container width changes
