FWIW to any not familiar with how email was 30+ years ago, M$ and Win95 seem to be
the root blame for the practice of both use of not only HTML for email by default,
but also of defaulting to imposition of a smaller than default font size in those
HTML emails, apparently to match what web designers were doing, making email
mousetype similar to the web page mousetype those eagle-eyed designers were fond
of imposing on everyone in the days before zoom was invented. Most GUI email
clients, as well as webmail apps, seem to have followed this stupid, rude lead.
It's the sender not changing the rude default, typically not knowing it even
exists, or can be changed (though in some cases default cannot be changed), which
is the immediate locus for blame.
