<p dir="auto">It's not easily done, but it's possible to create your own theme using a custom bundle. Some simple themes are included with MailMate and can be found within the application bundle. Documentation on bundle creation and (very little) on themes can be found <a href="https://github.com/mailmate/mailmate_manual/wiki/Bundles#themes" style="color:#3983C4">here</a>.</p>

<p dir="auto">p.s. - Also, maybe it's just my eyes, but I can barely tell any difference between the various "Themes" offered in the Composer preferences. Could there be one with slightly larger font sizes for recipients with older eyes?</p>

<p dir="auto">Font size is, on purpose, not part of any of the default themes. If at all possible, this decision should be left to the receiving email client. In MailMate, you can set a default font for the message view and a minimum font size in the Viewer preferences pane (which will apply to any HTML messages even if explicit font sizes are used).</p>
<p dir="auto">There might be special cases for which a large font size need to be explicitly defined and that should also be possible using themes as described above.</p>
<p dir="auto">There's very little variance in the themes for 2 reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>Even a very minor change could make a huge difference in some (widespread) email clients. It's unpredictable and hard to test. For example, <em>not</em> specifically setting a font (MailMate sets a non-specific sans serif font) will trigger some email clients to show an ugly default font even if a different font is used when displaying plain text emails.</li>
<li>They really should be relatively simple. We are not designing homepages when writing emails and recipients with HTML-based email clients would probably not appreciate if fonts and colors vary wildly.</li>
