        Hi,
I guess it's a typo, because the idea is to move the top attachment bar
elsewhere, probably below the message and all its attachments, always
visible, collapsed by default.

That all is part of the web page, thus pretty hard to use it for the
gtk+ widget itself in the webkit2 port. There is a bug about missing
remote content notification using too much vertical space, where was
given the idea of using this right-top part beside headers too. It's
currently used for the sender photo, either from the face header, or
from an address book. This thing will need more thinking, and I'd
rather not diverge this thread too much.
        Thanks and bye,
