Observing the same problem, but here's a tiny tip how to cope with the
current behaviour.  While Dekko pauses rendering mail body, mail header
is already rendered.  Unread messages are indicated by sender rendered
in bold font, while read messages are indicated by sender rendered in
regular font.  Now, whenever mail body seems to be empty, but sender is
still rendered bold, Dekko didn't finish rendering, i.e., there's more
to come (hopefully).  Subtle, but feedback at least.  (Works for unread
messages only and requires mails becoming marked as read at all, see
settings.)
