Is there anyway to increase the displayable size of emails to avoid the annoying "Message Clipped" additional step in Gmail?

There is no way to disable clipping in Gmail, as per this rather new post on the Google Product Forum.
This web app in the Chrome store comes as recommended in the different posts:

I've been debugging an HTML signature - not much text at all - and eventually whittled it down to a couple of M-dashes (in the opening hours text) as the culprits. Looks like GMail doesn't like them, whether they're written as –
or —
So it's possible (?) that GMail's [Message clipped] is for something as innocuous as a stray character
It is caused by the sender including soft-hyphens –
(e.g. ­
or —
) or other dash-like characters - it's nothing to do with the size of the message, and nothing you as a recipient can fix.
The reason is probably because of a convention that email signatures and disclaimers usually come at the end of email messages after a line of one or more dashes - google is saving you from wasting time on that more-or-less useless info (which is potentially a tricky legal mistake by google - should they really be allowed to strip legal disclaimers??? It's not their email to change, and they don't have the owner (sender) permission to do that either...)
