message preview in search results

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can there be an enhancement made into "--fields" switch to show first few lines 
or at least a couple of characters of body of emails, say first 50 characters 
of matched email body? Search output with '-f' has everything in 0.7 version 
except to include first few lines or characters of email body. 

note to self, this would require:
  - getting the msgpath from the match
  - re-parsing the msg using the gmime
  - extracting the few lines from the top

maybe together with #20.

That's exactly what I wanted to do with bash (saving output as links and then 
grepping those with mu view) but it would never work for good or at least as 
good as yours implemented inside the code :)

HEAD in git now contains an initial implementation for this, which works with 
'mu find' and 'mu view', and is somewhat documented.

Haven't tested it very much yet, and the summary could be a bit smarter, but it 
seems to work.

it's implemented now, only some more testing, documentation pending.

i'll mark it as 'fixed' when the new release is done.
