To do this, be sure to add width="100%" to the image src (e.g., <img src=http://www.123.com/img/abc.jpg" width="100%" />). If you need to specify the width in pixels, be aware that the image will not be responsive when viewed on some devices. If you are adding an image that is smaller than the resolution size, it will be pixelated.
