Since this would be primarily for IMAP, I think it would make more
sense to do something specifically IMAP'y.  Say, have a way to specify
that the (mythical) IMAP backend only retrieve text parts of all
messages by default, and then providing some way of accessing the
remaining parts through buttons or pseudo-articles.
