Thread (Conversation) Needs to Know the Last Message is SMS or MMS

Implementation feedback from Mozilla:

Please see [4] for the motivation and [5] for the interface change. In this way, the thread can know whether to display some special icons for the presence of MMS attachments.

This info can already be obtained by checking the 'type' attribute of the message with ID equal to the 'lastMessageID' of the Conversation

Gene Lian (@airpingu) 's email:

Sounds good to me! Btw, we don't have such an ID because we don't want to do extra queries at run-time, which might affect the perfomance of showing the thread list.

Should we redesign the Conversation interface to address the performance issue you mention?
