It has to be discussed whether the mime tree viewer is cool in general
(independent from S/MIME and OpenPGP). If people think it is helpful,
then it should be there by default.

My personal opinion is that the mime structure view is cool for S/MIME,
OpenPGP and also emails without cryptography.
It helps to understand MIME-Mails.
