Apologies; didn't even realize it was enabled. Incidentally can you forward a screenshot to me so I can see exactly how poorly it integrated with your normal settings? I don't expect I can get GMail to take a bug report, but if its HTML emails are setting things like fixed sizes, that's something that needs to be brought up. (I certainly wasn't copy/pasting or setting _anything_ manually. I avoid that as much as possible.) -- :wq
