Thanks for the enlightening discussions from everyone. I will try more methods on recalcitrant emails.

You won’t believe it, but that’s exactly what I did with the email in question - I read it in Emacs!

The two sutblties you mention are correct. But I disgree with your assesment that it is not unraseable to leave html as is. Even browsers can change the overall size of standard HTML!

So can MailMate, as long as the composer of the HTML has not specified sizes. If they have provided a reasonable plaintext alternative part, MM can also display that in the font and size of your choice.

As for reasonability of handling HTML mail, I admit I'm a biased judge. By calling the current lack of flexibility "reasonable" I only mean that it makes sense in the context of HTML mail with specified font sizes. I don't believe HTML mail should exist at all or that device-dependent presentation details like absolute font sizes have any place in a markup language.

It would be ***very*** helpful for people with *slightly* deteriorating eye-sight to be able to nudge up the font sizes in an email without resorting to underlying accessibility features of the OS.

Yes. As I said:

Hopefully at some point Benny will replicate what Safari does to zoom text to have mercy on old guys like me...
