Original description:

Currently Geary loads previews by requesting the first x number of characters
from the message, then stripping out everything that doesn't seem relevant.
This strategy has a couple of problems:

  * Sometimes there's nothing in the preview but junk that has to be removed, like message armor, quotes, and HTML tags.
  * Previews occasionally are not loaded until the full conversation is already loaded and on screen.

One strategy we've discussed would solve both of these problems: generate a
new preview once we have the entire message. This should help significantly
with eliminating empty or garbled previews. It also means that if we have a
message downloaded, we either already have a preview for it or we can generate
one on the fly.
