We will hopefully get an attachment icon in the header list. Then you 
won't have to look at the mime-tree to see whether a message has an 
attachment.

I have to agree with this. We should really have a simple mtv mode (all 
attachments in a linear list) and make the verbose tree view optional. 
The normal user is only unnecessarily confused by the tree view resp. 
is shown details he doesn't want to be bothered with.
