Put the width and height in separate attributes, with no unit:

<img style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;"
src="images/img.jpg" width="120" height="150">

Another Option:

<!--[if gte mso 9]>
<style type="text/css">
img.header { width: 600px; } /* or something like that */
</style>
<![endif]-->

make the image the exact size needed in the email  Windows MSO has a hard time resizing images in different scenarios  in the case of using a 1px by 1px transparent png or gif as a spacer  defining the dimensions via width  height  or style attributes will work as expected in the majority of clients  but not windows MSO  of course   example use case - you are using a background image and need to position a  with a link inside over some part of the background image  Using a 1px by 1px spacer gif png will only expand so wide  about 30px   You need size the spacer to the exact dimensions

I had the pleasure of creating an email for outlook 2010 based on sharepoint data  But when creating an outlook email  outlook in its wisdom reduces the image width and height to cm  Interestingly using the width and height kicks in correctly when you forward the email but not when you open it  Hack Fix  I had an image  720px X 150px  which should be  19 05cm X 3 98cm   BUT outlook set the image width and height to  15 24cm X 3 18cm   Clearly this is a problem  The hack I used was setting the html image tag as follows   lt img src  quot      quot  style  quot width 720px  heigh 150px quot  width  quot 900 quot  height  quot 187 5 quot    gt   Why that width and height  Well it is the ratio  25  increase  between  what outlook was saying and what it should be by adding 25  of the current size  which is  720 X 1 25   900  and  150 X 1 25   187 5    Its not pretty but it works
