I have a feeling this may become a non-issue after Lars' asynchronous DNS
support goes live, but for 25.1, I find that hitting SPACE to read an HTML
e-mail with many images, Emacs pauses for up to ~10 seconds doing...
something. It would help me to know work is being done, by some kind of
prompting in the message area, the way that Firefox does when loading a slow
page.

Bonus points for only prompting after a second or more, to avoid excessive
logging to *Messages*, but that's not terribly important.
