"Details" absent in menu

In mutt(1) we are always aware of how large a message might be. No matter in lines before opening, or kilobytes after, mutt does its best to let the user know the IMAP facts.

In fact every mail reader I've used, before opening a message, only looking at a list of subjects, I am still assured to be able to tell the difference between a million line message, and a couple line simple note.

(Yes, many lines usually mean big attachments, as they are turned into many many lines upon people sending them to us.)

Anyway I'm not saying you should crowd up the interface even more. or do any calculations -- just pass more IMAP info faithfully.

I'm just saying that there should be a way left open to the user, if they are curious, to know the size of a message, just in case they are interested, before opening it. Sort of like a constitutional right. So do at least add such an Details item to the menus.

In fact there could be a configuration option, to do like mutt...

Start by tracing the message-list menus and the IMAP metadata available before a message is opened. Determine how message size could be exposed through a Details item or configuration option; done means users can inspect the message size before opening it without unnecessarily crowding the interface.
