configuration option for "snippet length"

[schmeisers]

This is a feature request for a configuration option for "snippet length." It would be nice to have more than 80 chars for using sup fullscreen on a wide monitor.

TL;DR - Will do after #92 is merged.

After using mime-decode hook to view HTML-only emails, I'm feeling the same need for this to be configurable.

A super-clean-and-correct approach would be extract the snippet-composing logics from message-loading time and move it to rendering time.

But for now I can settle with a config-based solution since the message-loading time already reads from config.

Besides, the truncating logic doesn't look good on non-ascii string. I'll wait for merging #92 first, which introduces wide-char-aware slicing.

I think snippets are stored in the index, while re-calculating a snippet would require the message source to be read again. Worth taking into consideration. Upping the snippet length to say 250 chars and then using a screen-size dependent length at render time could be an option.
