1. Take the semantic that you proposed for the wax seal (greyed out,
"lit" for positive integrity, broken for integrity failure) and extend
it to the other two icons.

I don't like this as applied to the envelope/postcard icon.  That one, I
think the two different icons make it immediately clear which privacy
regime is in effect -- "like a postcard" or "like an envelope".

One of the reasons for my suggestion is that I think this will be challenging for the icon artist to represent with sufficient distinction to make it immediately obvious to the user. I think we also have to keep in mind the way that tbird uses the envelope icon to represent an S/MIME message. That said, if we get good icons for this, I think the semantic (postcard vs. envelope) is a good one.

I also think the Guy Fawkes mask is needed, but you're right, it
shouldn't appear for all unauthenticated email.  It should appear for
bad signatures.  A passport for a verified sender, a grayed-out passport
for an unknown sender, a Guy Fawkes mask for a "this signature is bad
and someone may be playing games with you".  It would be the analogue to
the seal, grayed-out seal, and broken seal iconography for signatures;
passport, grayed-out passport, Guy Fawkes mask.

I think this is much better.

2. Consider placement for these icons in a manner similar to the way
tbird handles S/MIME currently. I don't need a separate bar for this
feature, and don't want to take up precious screen real estate for it.

That would be ideal, yes.

Awesome! And thanks for the response. :)
