There are some... ;)

Works for me (at least with the single test mail). I am quite unsure
about html mails and explicitly set font tags.

(Although IIRC I have seen html mails with different font size. As this
overrided the Evo setting, it likely can be done for the font face too.)

Well, the proper way would be to display the text/plain part rather then
the text/html one of a multipart/related message. Just using the html
code and stripping off any html tags probably would lead to strange
results. (Someone correct me plz, if I am wrong.)

Unfortunately this isn't supported yet -- although I am pretty sure, it
has been filed in bugzilla.
