Even without media queries, enabling blocks in html emails is huge (google was the last holdout). For anyone developing html emails, this is a nice set of changes.

Good luck stopping a browser from implementing a "fun" javascript API just because it opens a security or usability hole in email.
Put it in a safe iframe, whats the catch?
Never, ever, EVER embed an iframe thinking it will make your life better.

Because it's harder to read.
Plus the accessibility story is a nightmare.
For input, you need to be able to reliably close and open a switch. This may be difficult for people with tremors, but many accessibility systems are built around single bit inputs, so it's a start. If you can manage another input method, it can be translated to Morse as well.
Internationalization is harder, it's not a good fit for non-alphabetic languages.
I always wish we could go back to plaintext emails.
One of the benefits of using a text-based email client, is that it forces emails to be text.

Morse is readily adaptable to whatever you can sense: I've experienced it with sound, light, and vibration. Taste, heat, and smell might not work so well.

I would just love to see an update to the Gmail app on iOS - very far behind Outlook imho.
I don't know what you're looking for in an email client, but Gmail's future is the Inbox app.
This is a great thing. One more metric by which to filter out spam. If I am receiving an email from an actual person, it will be plain text, perhaps with 1-2 links or images, and will not contain any CSS.
There are plenty of reputable email clients that add extra styling to make email look better that are not necessarily spam.
