It will take me some time to try the version you mentioned in the previous 
response to see if that is good enough.  I have not done any gtk programming in 
years, so I'm just not currently familiar enough with the widget set to suggest 
anything else at the moment.  I'm tempted to say that if the attachments are 
moved above the subject, then losing vertical alignment between subject and the 
other fields might be OK, as the  others (from, recipients, attachments) can 
still stay together and aligned.

The problem is that if the recipients and the attachments are in separate 
panes, it's hard to keep them aligned.  I tried nesting another GtkPaned with 
the attachments in the bottom pane, and in addition to losing the alignment, 
the initial allocation to each part gets too small.  If someone can figure it 
out, a patch would be welcome!

I also just noticed that if you add an attachment, and then delete it, the 
attachment list does not go away.  That is not a problem - I just wanted to be 
sure it was intentional.

Yes, it's intentional: if nothing has ever been attached, it seems reasonable to hide the 
attachment list, but if you attach some objects and then remove them all, having an empty 
but visible list seems like a good reminder that maybe you wanted to attach something.  
Couldn't tell you how many times I've sent an email "attaching" something but 
forgotten to actually attach it; I'd be more embarrassed if I were the only one :)
