Actual height rather than 'auto'?

    First of all, thanks for a very useful plugin! It works great with my MailChimp campaigns. My question is concerning the image height parameter. According to feedvalidator.org, the image height must be a positive integer. “auto” fails validation (although it works great with MailChimp). I’ve tried setting the height to “1” but that causes problems with certain clients (most notably AOL, Thunderbird, Gmail, and Outlook 2007-2013). I’ve also tried suppressing the height parameter altogether. This validates, but the above clients display a distorted image that has been stretched vertically to some standard height.

    Is it possible to have the plugin discover the height of each image and insert that into the RSS feed? Unfortunately, the height of my images varies.

    Thanks!
    Tony

    FWIW I researched this and it’s very hard to do so because checking the height of the image is slow for the server.

    Have you tried setting both height and width explicitly to the size of your featured image?
