For example: [This topic](https://intfiction.org/t/microsoft-textworld/40929) has a oneboxed link with a 1408x528 pixel 640kb image, which is way more than is needed for the 129x48 pixel thumbnail that is shown, even accounting for a 2X or 3X pixel density.

Can oneboxing process the image to shrink it to a more reasonable size? The image is stored locally, so it should be possible.
