Tiny preview in watchlist mails:
New attachment: my slides.odp [screenshot] [screenshot] [screenshot]

Tiny preview in the attachments tab: png => small preview of the image, 
ppt => screenshot of the first slide, doc,pdf => screenshot of the upper 
part of the first page, txt => screenshot of the upper-left corner of 
the text file. Konqueror does something like this when browsing the 
filesystem, and I really like it.
