i don't know about that. i often get html-emails from companies which don't fit the screen. sometimes i can align it by adjusting to the left... shouldn't have to.

Agreed on that. HTML e-mails are a pain to view!

The new Gmail update included Pinch-to-Zoom. Check it out in the Settings. Works perfectly, solves this problem quite nicely.

Tip: after zooming in, double-tap the text to reflow it.

aaahhhh thank you!

thank you. strange how this is not default, considering google's own services like youtube sends out wide html-emails.
