Email Help PLEASE!!!

I bought my wife the IPHONE 4S and I opted to go with the Samsung Galaxy S2. So far I am happy and still adjusting from my BB.

So far my major issue and its really bothering me is the view of each email. On my galaxy in order for me to view the whole email I need to scroll side to side and its very difficult to read emails that way. I forwarded a sample email to my wifes IPHONE and there they fit the whole email beautifully on the screen and its very clear to read. Please help.

Very Frustrated.

If the email has pictures as most advertising email does, then showing the entire email would require making the entire email smaller so it will fit the screen. For example, I received an email from Fry's Electronics and with all the pictures, it's too large to see the whole thing. Sure I can see the entire email just by zooming out a little. But that makes most of the text too small to read. So instead I zoom in or double tap on the text in the email and I can reformat the text to be larger without needing to scroll.

But the gmail app on the phone doesn't allow reformatting the email. So you can't do this if you use that app. So to get around this, use the email app instead of the gmail app. I believe that it allows reformatting of the text. But I don't use that app either. Go to the market and get K-9 mail. This's what I use. It's free and works great. It allows reformatting of the text and it works with POP and IMAP accounts. Hope this helps.
 
Will k9 or any other mail software be able to auto format the screen to fit into one page. I would really be dissapointed if the Iphone does this and android cant.
