Since getting a HiDPI screen, I have been plagued with claws mail merrily doing the right thing with proper emails, but showing HTML emails at a tiny size.

Whilst it doesn’t appear to be a preference you can change in the normal way, there is a zoom variable you can change within the Claws preferences file. Quit claws, and edit ~/.claws-mail/.clawsrc and scroll down through the file until you find the “[Fancy]” section :-

[fancy]
enable_images=1
enable_remote_content=1
enable_scripts=0
enable_plugins=0
open_external=1
zoom_level=100
enable_java=0
enable_proxy=0

Change the “zoom_level” to a suitable percentage (such as 200).
