Describe the solution you'd like

Move important actions outside the menu, like we did with https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/6976

Users should see the following actions/controls in the modal

  • Attachment icon
    • Opens a menu with: upload, add from files, add share link
  • Formatting (toggle)
  • Send later
    • Opens a menu with the date/time selection
  • 3-dot menu with read receipt and encrypt
  • Send button

Research direction

Start at the new message modal and its actions menu, then compare the proposed layout with nextcloud/mail issue 6976. Done means the modal exposes attachment, formatting, send-later, read-receipt/encryption, and send controls as described, with the relevant submenus still available.
