# Emails wider than the screen

Some newsletters and statements are built wider than your screen. Rookery fits them when it can, and gives you Fit and 100% when it can't.

Some emails are built for a big monitor, like a newsletter 800 pixels wide or a statement with a dozen columns. Rookery fits them in this order:

1. **It lets the email reflow.** Pictures and tables shrink to fit, which is enough for most emails.
2. **It widens the message.** On a wide screen, the message grows past the usual column, up to the room on the page.
3. **It scales the email down**, to about three quarters of its size at most on a computer. On a phone it always shrinks the email to fit. Pinch to zoom in.
4. **It shows the email at full size** when shrinking it further would make it too small to read. The edge fades, and **More →** moves on. You can also drag the email sideways or use the arrow keys.

## Fit and 100%

A wide email has **Fit** and **100%** above it:

- **Fit** shows the whole width at once.
- **100%** shows the email at its own size, to read the small print. Move sideways by dragging, with the arrow keys or with **More →**.
- **⌘+** and **⌘−** (**Ctrl+** and **Ctrl−** on Windows) zoom in and out inside the email once you've clicked it. **⌘0** fits it again.

**Open full size** opens the email on its own page in a new tab.
