>> Email view remains almost unchanged up to the moment the user's mouse is

>>
>> Does any equivalent feature exist within Horde DIMP (as it heavily relies on

> But that's just me)

Also, that being said, if you wanted to do something like this you  
should do it server side, not client side.  In DIMP, at least, you can  
alter the message text however you want by using the messageview hook.
