Sorry, can't help it, but this example (and
the other one, too) with all these data
looks more like a hex editor not an email
program :)

Words and lines count IMHO would better fit
into a separate dialog activated by "Message stats" menu option or something like that.
What is Index??? I really think that these
fields clutter the interface too much.

As for cursor position display maybe it would be better to format
it the same way xemacs does in column/line
minor modes?

If you choose to display the char code, you
should take care of multibyte chars too.

OK, enough ranting for now :)
