Is there a way to make a basic template align to the left instead of center?  I know I'm likely forced to the 600px wide with the basic templates but I would REALLY like to set the email to the left instead of center.   

The basic templates make all the emails look like a mass generic mailer so I can't use any of the basic templates.  I really would like to but unfortunately there's no way to change the width.  I'm not sending newsletters, my templates are crafted replies to leads and contacts but if I don't want them to look like some mass generic email I have to us the Insert HTML/Plain option.

The HTML/Plain option is full of pain points to because no matter how you try to format the tool adds in a ton of junk code which screws up the emails.

I can work with being stuck with the 600px width but I'd really like it if the emails could be aligned to the left instead of the center.  I feel it will look like an actual reply rather than a template.
