if there is a large number of attachments
(or pictures, or ...) you can't get at the later one's since there is no way to reach them.

suggestion a page handling of the icons if larger than
the window width (two arrow buttons on one side for instance)

    The attachments-list is already a virtual group. which means, you can scroll the contents in two way:
    1. click with left mouse button inside the group and while holding the button pressed move the mousepointer out of the window to scroll throu the content, or
    2. press middle mouse button and move the mousepointer left/right to scroll the group.

    one additional good thing would be to change it from
    displaying the attachments name to only display the
    mime.type and display the name and size etc. in a mui bubble

    even if the attachment list is a virtual group, why is there
    no visual indicator of some sort. since in a worst case
    scenario you might actually not know how many attachments
    there are (meaning that there are more than is shown)

    I attached the list to a scrollgoup, but then the scrollbar
    is always show, even if it is not needed and will eat up
    some more display space. I talked to Sebastian about this
    and he means that we need a own CustomClass (or should use)
    to handle this. But my experience is far to low to include
    this. Sorry, you'll have to wait till an experienced
    developer has time to include this.

    couldn't a nlistview be the answer?

    the problem with space could be solved with putting the headers display in a virtual group too (and making it display 3/4 rows max.

    if you look at how newscoaster has done with a nlistview displaying all diffrent attachments

    ________________________________________________________
    | header-type | contents | name | mime| length |

    it's simple, does not take up a lot of space for the email
    .
