The only sane way i can think of is through remoting.... provide a
button or dropdown which, when clicked would go ask the server what
attachments are for THAT CLICKED EMAIL and build a menu based on that.
The right way to do this would be through a hidden iframe, no reload
needed.

Its an evil techinique in wide use, and its cross browser and all but
would require major redesign of the email's ui handling code and lots
and lots of crud in integrating an oss js remoting library.

Not a project for anything but head or beyond. That said, id enjoy being
paid to do this for whatever branch needed.... :)
