Don't use %thumb% in that case.  

    %height=100px% Attach:foo.img    height is 100px, width is proportional

Or redefine %thumb% -- by default %thumb% is just a shortcut 
for %width=100px%.

%height=100px% is the answer.  Either that or we can redefine
%thumb% to be based on height instead of width (I borrowed
wikipedia's default when I defined %thumb%).  Or we can define
%height=NNN% under a different style name that has a similar
meaning to %thumb% applied to a row of images.
