Viewing a message in Cypht: Make download options simpler to understand (multipart / mixed vs multipart / related vs text / plain vs text / html, etc.)

[marclaporte]

The 3 types of downloads should be handled/presented differently.

1- The actual files that were attached

This is what the user cares about and should notice. In other mail clients that I can think of, this is shown and the others (described next) are hidden. If it's an image, a preview would be nice: https://github.com/jasonmunro/cypht/issues/382

2- Embedded images

Once these are shown via https://github.com/jasonmunro/cypht/issues/467, users can just right-click and "save as" to get them so we may no longer want to keep them in the list. If we do keep, these should be hidden somehow (like in a "Details" tab/section)

3- multipart / mixed vs multipart / related vs multipart / alternative vs text / plain vs text / html vs embedded

Again, this should be hidden in a "Details" section (along with "all headers") as user doesn't need to download if they see the message.

We already have something like this, It does not do everything you suggest but could be something to build on. In Site -> General is the "Show simple message part structure when reading a message" option. I personally want the detailed view of the actual message structure. It is a unique feature most (all?) clients don't offer and while it may be confusing I think it's cool :)

OK, so maybe we can flip the option. Put the simple one by default, and have an option "Show advanced message part structure when reading a message" for email geeks :-)
