It makes some sense to duplicate the title, as the window title might
not be long enough to contain it.
The "Read" label is the current mail status, so it's not always just
"Read" :-)
The informational value of the icon is indeed questionable, though, but
it still looks nice (one could experiment a bit, too, anyway).

The attachment list could easily span over more than one row.
Besides that, I would prefer a list, too, as that feels like a more
natural GUI element. Too bad it would use up more space (depending on
the number of attachments, that is).
