I have very much space on the rigth side of the msg and I think most of 
the users with a resolution higher than 800x600 will have to.

So perhaps there could be tabs on the right with first the content then 
the structure and after that perhaps the parts (like the old icon-view... 
perhaps even with the MIME-Icons)

Or you could even put the whole tree on the rigth side?
