is rumored to have said:

I use a 4K monitor that I prefer to run at native resolution, which often means adjusting text-based interfaces to make them more readable. For example, my browser remembers that two news sites I visit display at 130% and 150%.

In MailMate, text and markdown messages display as I would wish, but HTML messages (usually sent by corporations and mailing lists other than this one) are mostly way too small. There's one list in particular in which I have to press MailMate's "Zoom In" ten times to reach a preferable size.

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

Two questions:

In MailMate, is there any way to specify the default magnification of HTML formatted messages?

Not that I am aware of.

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

Is there any way to zoom the contents of a message without zoom the message window headers (i.e., MailMate-provided headers) too? They are comically big after I zoom the message text.

No way that I am aware of.
I expect that making that work would require Benny to refactor the message viewing part of MM yet again.
