What is irritating about this is that the initial line is just
text. As soon as the icons get inserted this changes the line height,
and shifts all other text down. Annoying. How about inserting a small
blank xpm of the proper height immediately, to reserve the line height.

Also redundant. I'd rather see this changed in the From: line. Then
the X-Face, which is currently shown there just after the From: could
be included in the email-address as well, and we would have the picons
all in one place.
