<p dir="auto">Thanks Benny. I guess I wasn’t sufficiently clear: I’d like the zoom to <em><strong>not</strong></em> be temporary but rather permanent, meaning not change when I switch messages. I actually want the text in the pane to be <em>smaller</em>, so when i set the zoom to 90% or 80% I want that zoom level to stay until I change it. Just as the font setting is permanent.</p>
<p dir="auto">The problem is that some html emails use a larger font than necessary and/or fix the width to a value wider than the pane. And I’m on a 13” MacBook Air and so I don’t have as much real estate as I used to. Thanks.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi, when I use the widescreen layout, I’ve noticed that when I hit ⌘– to zoom out in the message view<br>
panel and then click on a new message, the message view panel returns to 100% zoom. Shouldn’t it “stick” to the zoom level I set before? It feels like a bug. In the meantime is there some workaround to this? 🙏🏻</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't think I've changed how zooming works. It's a temporary state. If you need larger fonts in general then you should use the minimum font size setting in the Viewer settings pane (for HTML messages). For plain text messages, it'll also work to use “View > Choose Font...”.</p>
