I believe the first reason why this is not possible 
from the command line is that from the decoder perspective, 
such videos always provide nothing but a lot of trouble.
A second reason is probably that this sounds like 
wasting resources both at encoding and decoding.

It may be possible by using the libraries (pass another 
resolution to the muxer than to the encoder), I don't know.
(If that works, it should be trivial to add muxer-
specific options to implement it from the command line.)

Please try to fix the quoting of your mailer.
