// downloading the original:
// downloading the original, including:
// - When displaying a GIF, we always want to thumbnail so that we can
// properly respect the user's GIF autoplay setting (which relies on
// thumbnailing to produce the static preview image)
// - On a low DPI device, always thumbnail to save bandwidth
// - If there's no sizing info in the event, default to thumbnail
