[MlMt] Correspondence layout, shifted

[Luca Allodi]

Hi,

Today I spent some time flipping around my favourite MailMate layout, 
Correspondence.

I am not sure anybody would really be interested in this re-organisation 
but I thought to share just in case.

So, you might be interested in this if you have similar thoughts as 
mine:

- I like using MM through my keyboard shortcuts (e.g. to navigate 
mailboxes).
- I like saving up space on the monitor
- I also like having the email I am interested right in front of me, 
rather than next to one of the screen edges (right edge for the 
Widescreen layout, or bottom for the others).

Because of this I don't need:

- the full list of mailboxes to be always available for me to 
mouse-click
- all the horizontal space dedicated to the mail listing
- the actual mail body shifted to the bottom right because of all the 
space occupied by the Mailboxes vertical bar and by the Correspondence 
bit.

Here's how I edited Correspondence (link on imgur.com):

One idea was also to include an additional panel showing only the 
attachments in the mail, for rapid access (they are always listed at the 
very bottom of the mail body and sometimes that's a bit annoying when I 
am looking through emails to find a particular attachment).

The panel could be:

- horizontal: for the classic "quick look"-"save" interface
- vertical: for a full preview (but this would require plugins e.g. for 
PDFs etc).

Anyway I have no idea how to query MM to return an email attachment. 
Benny, would something like

	attachments = $mainOutline.attachments

work? I did not try. If there's a way to implement this I would happily 
give it a shot.

Anyway, I attach the layout, which I named "Correspondence Shifted" 
because as a poet I fall quite short. The attachment is a zip file with 
the directory structure and the layout to place in

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/

If you have other custom layouts already defined, make sure to merge the 
dirs rather than substituting yours with mine. If you like 
Correspondence Shifted but are uncomfortable with some changes ask and 
I'll deliver (if I know how to do it :-)) or you are welcome to modify 
it yourself and share it back.

Cheers,
