The handling of small HTML fonts is probably best handled using the 
minimum font size setting in the Viewer preferences pane.

Some things are probably possible using `!important` for the CSS 
definitions. (But nothing is ever easy when dealing with HTML in emails 
:) )

For plain text emails: I'm waiting for Apple to roll out support for 
specifying colors in CSS to be used in dark mode. This is supported in 
the Safari Technology Preview (which is why I'm currently postponing 
looking into it).
