[MlMt] Correspondence layout, shifted

[Simon Kaplan]

Hi Luca

This is great and exactly what I've been wishing for, except:  how does 
one set it up so that, on the right hand side, the list of messages is 
on top and the message 'preview' on the bottom (rather than the other 
way around as they appear to be now).

Thanks for any help!

cheers
Simon
