The letter previews take up too much space on the page (more than a typical email or text message). This means that users have to scroll too much. When we send the real letters they will be folded in half to fit in the envelope. So by showing the letter previews on the page cropped to half the letter’s height: - it reduces the need for scrolling - it gives an accurate preview of how the letter will be delivered This is acheived without hard-coding any heights by using a little-known quirk of CSS, namely that padding set as a percentage is calculated from the width of the element, even for top/bottom padding. This means that we can always set the ratio of the displayed letter to be A4 folded in half – the square root of 2.
