I think he thinks of something like this:
<img src="" width="1024" alt="1024 pixels width">
	 ^^^^^^^^^^^
	 this is 3.2 html-standard, to specify width and height og a
	 picture in pixels(! NOT in %!! That causes problems!)

But I'm afraid this will not solve the problem, width and height don't
touch the quality or the size of the picture and the other possibility is
a server-sidet one or/and a nonstandard...

yes, theese immages, are really small, and thumbnail-images too. (I have
got a solution from someone that works with thouse small pictures and than
you can get the larger gif...)

That is a point to think, if we only use some complikated stuff if the
image has more than 50% or so.
