I think you're speaking about the folder view (the upper right part) here,
don't you? For the folder view I have a few ideas, but the real question is
about the composer. I think we can add some kind of "encryption toolbar"
there, what do you think?

This is the behaviour of all Mahogany options, and this one won't be an
exception, of course.

I keep asking this because it's very important from the implementation
point of view: if the encryption/decryption is done for each MIME part,
then it's quite easy. However if it requires operating on the global
message structure and (I hope not!) change the MIME structure in the
result of doing it, it would be much more difficult.

Yes, I think so too :-)
