Thanks for the heads-up! I knew about Pantheon Mail, but didn't realise 
you'd already fixed the Webkit1 dep.

I was having a look through ~tintou/pantheon-mail/native-view - looks 
like the approach is using a stack with per-message WebViews, which is 
approximately what I was thinking. Is that approach working out well? 
(I tried to compile it to test it out, but it looks like Xenial's 
version of Granite is out of date)

Also, it seems that branch made a bit of a departure from Geary's 
coding convention, with file names at least. Is that more in line with 
the Elementary coding style?

Yes indeedy, but where to do it? Is there a mailing list for Pantheon 
Mail we can CC in?
