I removed the "Current Message" option from the top drop-down menu
because I felt it was confusing to use the same UI for two different
search contexts (one context being the message list, the other context
being the currently shown message).  Also, "Edit -> Find in Message"
seemingly did nothing unless you were watching very closely.

Instead, the same menu item and shortcut key now open a Firefox-style
search bar in the preview pane, which is more noticeable and familiar
looking.  It also makes the search UI consistent in both the preview
pane and the message reading window.
