This is similar to what I had in mind, assuming that the right side is  
templated so its content can be adjusted, and that the width of the  
right pane retains its last setting on restarting the program, etc  
(I'd set it wider than the demo jpg for abstract display). I do think  
the display at the bottom works pretty well for multiple attachments.  
However, I don't think this is worth an argument if there's a strong  
sentiment against it among the developers.
