I would like an icon which will allow me to preview the email, similar to ask.com.
http://www.ask.com/web?q=web+2.0&qsrc=1&o=0&l=dir
But that shows a screenshot. I would just show the first few sentences of the email in a larger tooltip. I also like how GMail show the first line of the email next to the subject. The subject is black and the body of the email is in light gray. That is a major time saver as you scan your email and try to decide how to sort it.
I could help you by writing the Javascript to generate the floating preview if you like. The question is, do you click on the icon or just hover over it for a moment?

You might want to wait for an hour or so; after Bratt's comments I looked again at doing it the Web2.0 way and I'm almost there.
Here's a new version of my patch.
There's a new config option, called $rcmail_config['preview']. If set to true, a single click will show the message in a preview pane.
A small number of issues remain:
- Internet Explorer has a problem with width and height. I tried to set
the 'expression' css attributes from JavaScript but IE gave errors. Can anybody help me to do this from JavaScript:
width: expression((parseInt(document.documentElement.clientWidth)-240)+'px'); height: expression((parseInt(document.documentElement.clientHeight)-125)+'px');
[125 should be replaced with 125 plus mailcontframe.offsetHeight]
- Clicking on an attachment within the preview pane does nothing. I
have not yet taken time to investigate this.
- I probably should scroll the preview pane to the top when inserting
new content.
- The selected message in the message list should be scrolled in to
view. I think I saw something in the DOM docs about that.
Any more comments anybody?
