KMail 1 had the ability to view encapsulated messages, i.e. messages that are
added as an attachment to other messages.

Viewing them could be started by two ways:
Clicking the "Encapsulated Message" link in the reader
Clicking on the message in the message structure viewer

I think for the first one, a separate reader window was launched.

This all currently does not work.

Some other implementation details:
- When hitting reply or forward while viewing the encapsulated message, the 
  reply/forward would be based on the encapsulated message, not on the original 
  message.
- Deleting or editing attachments of the encapsulated message should save the 
  changes back to the original message. The window that displays the  
  encapsulated message and the widget that displayed the original message both 
  need to be updated.

This probably requires some work to clean up the places dealing with
KMime::Message::Ptr and the places dealing with Akonadi::Item. The API
documentation of ViewerPrivate should be extended to clearly explain this
matter.

Also make sure the following cases work:

This was hacked to work in the KMail 1 version with r1010835, r1010840 and
r1071368. Here, it should be done in a cleaner way.
