[MlMt] attachment in headers display

[Galen Menzel]

Before you start hacking the headers display, have you tried the [hidden 
preference](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences) that 
makes the attachment table show up at the top of the message? Execute 
this command in the terminal and restart MailMate:

```
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmShowAttachmentsFirst -bool YES
```

This puts the attachments not in the headers, but just below them. Like 
this:

Does this fit your needs?

Best,

Galen
