Description

I receive news through email (rss2email) and some mails don't adjust the text when zooming in.
Those mails which fails contains images, which are coded like that (an example):

When the image is smaller than the zoom, the text adjusts correctly. Once the image is larger than the zoom, the text fits the image (800px in the example) and not the zoom, requiring to scroll horizontally to read the text, which is very annoying.

The no load images option is useless, as the image has the size already coded inside the email. It just displays a very large blank square.

PS: I'm using Android KK.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Android email viewer with an HTML image such as and zoom enabled. The fix is done when surrounding text wraps to the zoomed viewport despite the image dimensions, including when images are disabled, without requiring horizontal scrolling.
