Resize/compress pictures when sending mail

[Knapp]

Imagemagick is the classic command line tool for this job. Here is a bit
from their web site. There is a good chance that it is in your computer now
but just apt-get it if not.

ImageMagick(R)<http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=78333969>is
a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can
read,
convert and write images in a variety of
formats<http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php>(over 100)
including
DPX <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/motion-picture.php>,
EXR<http://www.imagemagick.org/script/high-dynamic-range.php>,
GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use
ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform
images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text,
lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.
