right now, we'll download the message from the server when we try to copy it,
even if the message is in our cache.

Is this bug after the new outliner widgets landing merge to the trunk builds?

I'm not sure.  I never checked if it happened before.

if you want to hang this bug off the main perf bug, go ahead.

will this also apply to inline attachments that are automatically displayed (and
therefore already downloaded)? It would be nice if the entire msg (incl.
attachments) were copied from the cache. This would improve responsiveness far
more than with only the msg body being copied from cache.

What if attachments were *background downloaded* as long as the user isn't doing
anything? If the user does something, the background download would *pause* and
then resume as soon as the user pauses his activities. This could be on a per
folder basis (as long as all activity happens within a given folder) - cool :)

fixed.

my fix for #121639 fixed this, too.

Is there a fool-proof testcase for this?  Or would grepping NNTP logs / netstat
work?
