Or you could not display the body for html messages and just do it for text 
ones, or not display the body at all. What I want is a way to see if the latest 
email in my inbox is worth reading.

Well you see the latest RSS feed don't you?

Well, if it's in my inbox I'll see it when I open my mail application anyway. 
While I agree that this is objectionable, that's why it's a module. If you have 
children or can't stand spam messages on your desktop you don't turn it on.

Because it would be more efficient then keeping an email client open at all 
times (less mem), because I could see it without specifically  looking for the 
email client, and because it isn't an extra opened window (which gets in my 
way).
