Indeed, HTML is a terrible fit for email, which gets rendered in so many 
different tools that it always looks terrible for someone.

Not that I am aware of.

There IS a "Minimum Font Size" set in the Viewer pane of Settings.

No way that I am aware of.
I expect that making that work would require Benny to refactor the
