notmuch-emacs: Highlight the file attachment

[Jörg Volbers]

Hi there,

When showing a message with notmuch-show, I'd love to highlight 
the file attachment part. I want to distinguish them from the 
other mml stuff which I usually do not need to care about. Is 
there any easy way to determine that part programmatically?

Looking at the text properties in the show buffer, these parts 
seem to be simple buttons with no special property. If notmuch 
show would add a text property when inserting these particular 
buttons, one could simply add a face overlay or something. Or it 
could be wrapped in a special face.

Modifying the button part based on whether the part in question is
structural or leaf should enable you to then apply different formatting.

Structural parts will, I think, always have a :content attribute that is
a list.
