MFMailComposeViewController image orientation

Question

I\'m developing a Universal app and I\'m coding for iOS6.

I\'m using the imagePickerController to take a photo and then I am sending it as an attachment using MFMail

swift version of the scale part:

class func scaleAndRotateImageUsingOrientation(imageIn : UIImage) -> UIImage
    {
        //takes into account the stored rotation on the image fromt he camera and makes it upright
        let kMaxResolution = 3264; // Or whatever

        let imgRef    = imageIn.CGImage
        let width     = CGImageGetWidth(imgRef)
        let height    = CGImageGetHeight(imgRef)
        var transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity
        var bounds    = CGRectMake( 0.0, 0.0, CGFloat(width), CGFloat(height) )

        if ( width > kMaxResolution || height > kMaxResolution )
        {
            let ratio : CGFloat = CGFloat(width) / CGFloat(height);

            if (ratio > 1)
            {
                bounds.size.width  = CGFloat(kMaxResolution)
                bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width / ratio;
            }
            else
            {
                bounds.size.height = CGFloat(kMaxResolution)
                bounds.size.width  = bounds.size.height * ratio
            }
        }

        let scaleRatio : CGFloat = bounds.size.width / CGFloat(width)
        var imageSize    = CGSizeMake( CGFloat(CGImageGetWidth(imgRef)), CGFloat(CGImageGetHeight(imgRef)) )
        let orient       = imageIn.imageOrientation;
        var boundHeight : CGFloat = 0.0

        switch(orient)
