/**
 * @brief A message body, shown as the text it literally is.
 *
 * This workspace supports plain-text mail. A body that arrived as HTML is not
 * rendered and is not converted into an approximation of itself: its source is
 * shown verbatim, which is the only form of it that is certainly true.
 *
 * That is a deliberate narrowing, and it removes rather than manages three
 * separate hazards. Qt's rich-text engine is not built for real-world mail: it
 * lays a nested table out again for every pass its parent makes, so cost grows
 * exponentially with nesting depth and an ordinary marketing newsletter -- 45
 * tables, seven deep -- never finishes, synchronously, on the GUI thread,
 * inside setHtml(), with no event loop left to cancel from. Rendering also
 * resolves resources, and an <img src="http://..."> turns opening a message
 * into a read receipt and a confirmation that the address is live. And it lets
 * a link hide its destination behind friendly words.
 *
 * Showing the source ends all three: no layout engine runs on attacker
 * controlled markup, nothing is ever fetched, and every URL is visible as
 * written. The widget is a read-only QPlainTextEdit for the same reason -- it
 * has no rich-text engine to reach, so none of this can be reintroduced by
 * calling the wrong setter.
