We already have the "crypto plugin" combo box in the toolbar. If we now 
add the language combo box then the toolbar will be much too wide for 
people with small screens. Just showing the flag in the combobox 
doesn't work because there are several dictionaries for some languages, 
so the combo box will have to contain the full description of the 
dictionaries. And this makes this combo box very wide.

An alternative would be to add the language selection the same way as 
the Identity selection and the Sent-mail folder selection, etc.. This 
is what I would prefer because people who don't need it can simply turn 
it off and people who need it can switch the language with the mouse 
wheel. The only disadvantage: This would reduce the available space for 
the message editor.
