        Hi,
having there [*] only a summary of the attachments with the Save All
button is easy, the problematic part is the icon/list view and the
functionality on top of it, like the drag&drop. Thus, I think there is
no problem to have there [*] shown only that line, unless people will
be confused that they cannot expand it any more. The line would be:

   Message contains 2 attachments (13,0 KB) [ Save All ]

with compare of current:

   [>] 2 Attachments (13,0 KB) [ Save All ]

where the [>] is meant as the expander icon, which can be clicked.


[*] 'there' as 'between the headers and the message body'

Okay. Would the reposition to the bottom of the preview be a problem?
Together with consolidating all the attachments (aka also attachments
of attached messages)?

It's due to the gtk+ widget being part of the WebKit view. As the
WebKit2 doesn't allow it, the bug will be cured as a side effect of
the port.
