Whatever the reason -- that works for me in the "Compose" window, but
not in the preview pane, or after double-clicking incoming messages.

That's my biggest problems -- scanning huge numbers of incoming emails
on a high-resolution monitor, without having to put my face right
against the screen!

Is there some way to make this work for incoming emails?
