Screenshot showing the problem.

Attachments are displayed each in a div (or something) whose width depends on the length of its filename.  For just a few, this looks fine.  But when there are many, it looks very sloppy (see attached image).

We could enforce a width on each to force them to line up in a grid or put them in an actual table.  But that might not look so good when there's only a few, so maybe this should happen only when there are more than 5 or so attachments.  We could also force all the attachments to lie in a single line and use horizontal scrolling to view them all.

This should be taken care of by Bug 765516.

Fixed on master by 898fa33, as part of Bug 728002. We're now using a GtkFlowBox, which enforces consistent widths, but I'm a bit unhappy with the design and it may get replaced by a GtkListBox.
