No, and I've kind of forgotten the details. I believe it works for some 
emails and not for others (using some private Apple API, but I cannot 
recall why).

Eventually MailMate should switch to a different class for displaying 
images and I believe that works differently (it supports pinch-zoom). 
I'm not sure when I can do that (I'm having trouble replicating current 
functionality) which means you shouldn't expect this to improve soon.

Setting the minimum font size should work, but note that you have to 
select another message to trigger its effect. I'm not sure why MailMate 
doesn't dynamically update as it does for some other settings. (I guess 
MailMate could perhaps use this to make ⌘+/⌘- kind of work.)

I'm not sure what options you have using CSS since I'm on a really bad 
internet connection right now (and I need Google to refresh my memory).
