Wow, I like that very much! This goes into the same direction of the two buttons (sign/encrypt) in the compose window which got really good feedback. It's logical, consequent and simple. You get an overview on first glance. Don't know yet how to display these three items withing the message header, in a graphical sense. I'll make a suggestion. This UI change covers about 90% of daily use and Enigmail can implement it independently and instantly. But I think, we've still got to look into the wording of key details. One of the most misunderstood terms there is "ownertrust". Also - as already pointed out - "validity" is not clear. And: We "sign" messages, but until today we also "sign" a key/certificate, expressing that it belongs to the promised person. The double use of the term "signature" has led to quite frequent misunderstandings. We really should use "certify" for the latter. These new terms should also be used within GnuPG and other OpenPGP clients. Ludwig
