Here, there first unusal points:
 - While copying an email address from an old email, I've selected (drawing the 
left mouse button)
   something in the Recipients field. The selected text was blanked out instead 
of highlighted.

The root cause of that misbehavior is some styling that we applied to the 
widget that contains the message headers, especially giving it a distinctive 
background color.  Doing so in a theme-friendly way has always been a 
challenge, and occasional changes in Gtk themes has resulted in selected text 
being shown in white-on-white--as Helmut discovered!

An info-bar widget has the desired structure (content on the left, an array of 
widgets on the right), and a range of background colors depending on its type, 
and is now used for the message headers and the various icons, x-face images, 
and so on.  Each header is shown in a Gtklabel, which has conventional one-line 
ellipsizing or line-wrapping.  As candy, a long header now has an expander to 
choose between ellipsizing and wrapping.

Otherwise, the new header widget should look and work much like the old one.  
All comments and opinions welcome!
