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.

Yes. As I said:
