RFC/PATCH emacs attachment handling

Hello

I have modified the emacs interface for handling attachments by adding
a keymap to the attachment button. For example pressing v when on an
attachment button views the attachment (using the mailcap method) and
pressing s saves the attachment. I find this makes it a lot easier
when dealing with message with lots of attachments.

Other comments:

"Viewing" a text/html button opens the part in the mailcap defined html viewer.

"Viewing" a part with no mailcap entry just offers to save it.

In this version I make the button default to viewing: this is obviously
trivial to change but I am not sure what the right way to make that
user-configurable is.  

Finally, I have also mapped the key "o" (other/open with) on a button to
open with user chosen program. This could be split out into a separate
patch if preferred.

Best wishes

Mark
