Well, I'm thinking of the right pane code that's used when actually "reading" 
an email.  The part that can display either plain text or HTML, as well s 
stripping out attachments and allowing them to be viewed/downloaded.

OK, so if I want to do this, I'm probably on my own.  S'alright, it won't be 
the first time I've had to dig deep into unfamiliar code to figure out if 
something's possible :)  Thanks for the response!
