Inline graphics are rotated when inserted into a new email

When ever I insert an inline graphic/photo where the height is less than
the width, TB insists on rotating the graphic/photo 90 degrees.
Anyone else notice this? Is there a fix? I noticed the problem some
version back, just never got around to asking.
I made a quick search of Bugzilla, but didn't find anything. That
doesn't mean I selected the right search term.
I'ma gettin' tired of looking ignorant to those that know me, and know I
would never send an email out with a graphic/photo rotated like that. :-)

Can you give some specific dimensions that cause a problem.
Also, how are you inserting..Drag and drop, Copy/paste, or Insert>>Image.

as I've just discovered! LOL
I've sat here for 15 minutes trying to find a way to answer your
question, and get frustrated. LOL
This will sound like a stupid question at this point, but I'm going to
have to ask you to be a tad more detailed in the exact steps you would
take to do each step, drag and drop, copy/paste, and Insert > Image.
That's because I have some OS X options for those steps that are
available to me on my Mac that, AFAIK, you cannot do with XP w/o third
party software. And I don't know if those options are available in
Vista or Win7.
If I can get some idea of your thought process for the three methods, I
can build on it, and maybe sound intelligent! (Hardly likely!) LOL

Use the menu option Insert>>Image, then browse to a file on your local
Hd and choose it.
Use Windows explorer to browse local drive, Right click>>copy then go
back to the message composition window and Ctrl+v or use the paste
option in the edit drop-down (if it works)
Have 2 windows open one the compose window, one the viewed local image.
Left click and drag the image to the composition window.
These of course are Windows methods. Not Mac
If you are using dropbox as a source of the image..one thing I noticed
is that you get the rotation if you choose the "Full size" option.

Thanks for the steps, makes it clearer what I need to do and not do on
the Mac.

Understood. I've got XP and Vista installed in VM software on my Mac,
as well as a dual boot XP and Vista machine. I've not always been a Mac
user.

I'm not using Dropbox for the image source, I have the originals on my
hard drive. I put those images up there for you to experiment with./

image programs may be able to do the same fix.
IrfanView is at http://www.irfanview.com/
For this task it also needs the IrfanView JPG_TRANSFORM plug-in.
1. Open the IrfanView "Thumbnails" window
(From IrfanView main window, "File >> Thumbnails")
2. From the Thumbnails window, open the folder with the JPGs
3. select the JPGs to fix
4. Use the Thumbnails menu
"File >> JPG Lossless Operations >> Lossless rotation with selected files"
5. Select "Auto rotate (according to EXIF orientation, if available)"

This bug, and one mentioned in the comment section, go back a long way.
Seems like either no one wants to fix it, or they can't decide what to
do about it. :-)
And I never knew there was a sensor in the camera (maybe) that knew the
orientation of the camera when the photo was taken. I'm going to have
to do some research on this and pass it along to my brother-in-law.
Current Apple versions of Opera and Safari also display the photo
"incorrectly", as per the comments in the bugs.
FWIW, I'd like to see a means to display it correctly in TB. After all,
if you handed your friends and relatives a printout of a tall and narrow
photo would you insist they crank their head around 90 degrees to view
it? <grin>
last few months with images and being properly oriented on my Mac.
(Never took the time to turn the Windows computer on and see if a
similar situation existed.
On to my next TB issue/question. LOL
Thanks a million for the info.

EXIF info included in an image file. On occasion, I've accidentally
changed something about the photo data using Preview in OS X that
somehow must trick TB into displaying the photo correctly. But, I've
given up on trying to track down the exact steps. I just don't use
those photos any more.
This is just one of many issues I have with TB, that if not fixed in the
upcoming big whizzbang upgrade, I'll be looking for another email
program, possibly Zimbra Desktop.

originally rotated using different pixels bitmap, or just EXIF data
about rotation?
I suspect it was second case, but TB show file in original pixels bitmap
layout.
Gecko so far did not respect EXIF rotation.

rotate my photos using the computer unless I'm tracking down an issue
like this. In which case, I use a copy or Save As for the rotated picture.
I can't remember if I resized the photo smaller when I made the post,
but I don't think that should have made any difference.
I just did a test of a photo that is higher than it is wide. Simply
dragged and dropped from the folder/directory to the compose window, and
TB rotated it.

Problem is that some phones and cameras did not physically rotate photo
when You rotate phone/camera. It just put info about rotation in Exif,
while bitmap itself is not rotated.
It optimize processor/battery of camera, much less work. For example
iPhone work this way.
Mac image viewer support info about rotation in Exif, and show picture
rotated.
But Windows default image viewer did not support it.
TB / Firefox also did not, although there is work on this.
It is why You see image OK in Mac viewer, but TB show rotated.
