Yes, you understood correctly.

Not much, I guess, except for specifying the minimal font size that 
KMail shall use (which does not seem to be controllable via Konqueror 
:-( ). The problem is that if the HTML message says that the text shall 
be displayed with a font size of 10 pixels then on my screen this text 
will be about 1/10 th of an inch high, i.e. about 2.5 mm. On displays 
with even higher resolution the text will be even smaller.

You can change the default font size. But if the HTML message explicitly 
requests a certain font size then KMail will use this font size instead 
of the default font size.
