Some of the beagle hackers has HUGE volumes of emails which was the
main motivation behind disabling snippets for emails :-). Snippets
requires caching the data which basically means a lot of storage.
Later the main email body was cached but attachments were left out ...
again fearing space problem.
So setting  "child.CacheContent = true" is ok.

I propose a Config option to enable snippets for emails (and warn
about the storage in the settings GUI) and turn on/off snippets for
emails (attachment included). Hopefully not too late on this one ....
:-)
