Why not just show the mail body as a clickable icon, much the way KMail 
already handles attachments (option View > Iconic Attachments)? A KMail 
setting will decide whether the mail body is downloaded straightaway or 
shown as an icon below the header. A context menu will appear when the 
icon is (right?) clicked, showing options (1) Delete (2) Download (3) 
Save As ...
