Without downloading image to file we can only use heuristics to determine
must we stretch image to fullscreen or no.
I can only propose us use my "show media" implementation, which uses images
from special data source in article. And this source often contains size of
image (whoohoo), which we only need, BUT - articles (all I've seen before)
contain small variant of attached image in their body too, and seems there
are no easy way to determine that they are identical, but different size
(to replace little one with big one).
In my opinion RSS Reader should display article exactly as it was formed.
It's like tiny browser. What if browser will change your html page? :)

But I'll try something anyway :)

Without downloading image to file we can only use heuristics to determine
must we stretch image to fullscreen or no.
I can only propose us use my "show media" implementation, which uses images
from special data source in article. And this source often contains size of
image (whoohoo), which we only need, BUT - articles (all I've seen before)
 contain small variant of attached image in their body too, and seems there
are no easy way to determine that they are identical, but different size
