The thing is messages are displayed on a GnomeCanvas... this means we
can inline graphical attachments, but I guess the GnomeCanvasItemText
does not let you select it. I'll make a quick investigation of workarounds,
but I'm not optimistic.

Alternatively, we could display the messages as text and have a list of 
attached files, as in the compose window. This would be some work, though,
and we would lose inlining attachments. Unless you got to choose which
view you wanted....
