I agree that not too much should come into rmb.  

My consideration was that the main actions done with a mail 
message are:  Reply, Save (to disk or Folder), Print, Delete

So the idea is to have the main actions collected in rmb.

I do not know what it means to emit a signal.  If you can point to 
another example in the existing code, then I should be able to 
figure out how to imitate it.

Do you mean which label to use?  I do not have a strong opinion.  I 
am happy to make it be "Edit"  I think I was just copying that 
"Reply..." and others were like that.  I can make them all be "Edit"

I do not understand what you mean here.
