Can I use the pinch gesture to zoom in and out of email content as you are able to do on websites? It is a pain to always press command + or -.
I use a third party app called Better Touch Tool and configured it such that it replicates the pinch to zoom gesture for mac mail in a manner that's just fine with me. On another forum, someone else mentioned the same solution but that each 'pinch' was the equivalent of only one CMD + / - keyboard shortcut, causing repeated pinching and zooming rather than one smooth one. Since I can no longer reply there, I thought I'd mention I found a solution that works for me (on this recent and answerable forum) by adding 2 additional CMD +/- 'actions' in BTT.
So, when I pinch out for example, what's triggered is 3 immediate "cmd +/cmd+/cmd+" creating a good enough outcome for me (only 1 or 2 pinches in or out). I'll try adding a 4th (or more) "cmd +/-" 'actions' and perhaps that'll get it all in one pinch but I'm happy so far. Not as smooth as native would have been but it's good enough for me.
That other user using BTT (where I can no longer reply) was only triggering one "cmd +" creating the need for repeated pinching in or out - frustrating. Hopefully they've found a solution or perhaps find this note since I can no longer reply there.
Hope this helps someone reading.
I have no affiliation with Better Touch Tool. Just a user who finds it incredibly useful.

Edit: Upon returning to mail and testing, I see no need to add additional 'actions' to my pinch in/out trigger using BTT in Mac mail. Three "CMD +/-" actions for the 'pinch in/out with 2 fingers' trigger is working fine for me (but ymmv). Good luck.
Thank you. The scroll gesture (zooms in the entire screen) helps, but it is not the same as the pinch zoom on website (zooms in the website and is more customizable).
Is it possible to use pinch gesture to zoom in and out of email content as you are able to do on websites?
