  jepp, but this "just" removal :D
  
  First we should decide what kind of interface we want, before I put more effort in it.
  
  - I would prefer either we go the global sidebar or the inline - I have not strong options for one or the other.
  - I'm against that we have the global sidebar and if there are more alternative the inline sidebar additionally, because I think this is also confusing for the user.
  - If we would go with the global sidbar, than no inline sidebar :D
  - I think the inline sidebar makes it more clear, what is does and indicate better, what part is changed.
  - the inline sidebar is a new element, the global sidebar was already introduced
  
  > Okay, switching modes separately for attached emails makes sense. I would only show it inline if there are actually multiple alternative parts, however (which I guess is rather the exception than the norm?).
  
  the box / button is only shown, when there is somthing to switch.

  Hard to say, if you never want to switch back :D The intial problem is because senders of email do not send the a real alternative in the two parts, otherwise you would not need to switch. So maybe you siwtch to the html mail and see, that the plain text part is better readable.
