Hmm. There is a "list" missing after message. The option reads "Show the 
message preview pane below the message list".

Either you misunderstand the option or I misunderstand your message. You 
write "a new pane to open at the right, in which the  MESSAGE is 
displayed". This pane is the preview pane. What do you expect the 
preview pane to be? Are you looking for the old "message structure 
pane"?

What kind of preview do you expect? Would it be better if the "preview 
pane" would be called "message pane"?

I don't understand what you want to achieve. What kind of HTML 
attachment do you want to view? All attachments should be listed. If you 
want to show an HTML message as HTML then you need to enable "Prefer 
HTML to Plain Text" for the folder temporarily.
