I seem to recall this used to be possible - did something change - can it be made possible again?

Running Android 5.0, Galaxy Note 3, latest version of Aquamail.

Thanks - loving the client!!

I agree.  This waa one of the best features of AquaMail.  If it's gone for good, it may be time to find a new Email app.  Maybe management can respond and let us know if this is temporary or permanent...

Loosing this great feature is certainly annoying. However,
However, you shouldn't make a decision in favor of one or another mail client depending only on a single function.

It depends on how important/critical for you that single function is.

If Aquamail were to loose ability to connect via IMAP (say, because that creates problems for people connecting via the new EWS-Push), - that loss of a single function would force me abandoning Aquamail...  :P

As already pointed out by Kostya

[unfortunately I can't find this post anymore]

there was a change in Android's "Web View" functionality in the past - obviously  already since Android "KitKat":

'Web View' is used by AquaMail - and "all other" apps 😎 - to view the textbody of messages or the text from internet sites within different browsers.

@Kostya (and MS development team):

I just found this extension (for 'Firefox for Android', but...):

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/android/addon/android-text-reflow/

The developer made the source code including build script available here:

https://github.com/rgh36167/FfxAndroidTextReflow

Possibly this could be helpful for a (re-) implementation of this great feature in AquaMail.  8)
