Original description:

The conversation viewer will soon have a nice paperclip icon for messages that
have attachments (#3809). It would be nice if the conversation list displayed
a similar icon when any of the messages in a conversation has attachments.
(Gmail does this.)

To make good use of space, I propose we add two icons to the application: an
envelope with a paperclip attached, and an envelope with a paperclip an a star
(indicating unread conversation with attachments). These icons could be used
where the unread conversation icon sits today.

I've asked Daniel to come up with two icons: one an envelope with a paperclip
(unread conversation w/ attachments) and the other simply a paperclip (read
conversation w/ attachments). This plus the existing unread-conversation icon
and using blank space to indicate a read conversation w/ no attachments gives
us all the assets we need to implement this in accordance with the final
decision of #5727.

Hey Jim, I think we're going to have an issue with this plan. The problem
would be that we could add an icon to signify both unread and attachments but
the default theme already comes with the icons for unread or attachment. So
when we have a mail that is only either unread (with no attachments) or has an
attachment (but is read) we may end up with an icon that looks completely
different than the system unread and attachment icons.

So we could either not use the system icons for unread and attachments (which,
imo, is less preferable). Or we could display the icons separately (which
might take a little more space to do).

  * **File** attachment.svg added
  * **Assignee** changed from _Daniel Fore_ to _Jim Nelson_

Okay, so we after some discussion, we've decided to try placing a symbolic
paperclip icon in-line with the sender list a la iOS Mail. In order to do
this, we needed a small (but wide) icon that wouldn't alter the convo list
height. Attached here is this icon.

This is more difficult than first appears. Geary is unable to tell when a
message has an email has an attachment until the entire body has been
downloaded, but there's currently no clean way for the Conversation List to be
notified when this occurs. With time short for this release, this will need to
be deferred to 0.3.
