 It doesn't work for me -- it just doesn't do anything. Shouldn't you
specify the keyserver to use as well (and what shoudl it be)?

 Yes, I agree.

 In fact, it doesn't work for statically linked modules anyhow (you should
be able to select not "load" even the statically linked modules: they
should be ignored then).

 Right now I implemented good, expired and bad. We definitely should show
the trust level somewhere... It's relatively trivial (process TRUST_XXX gpg
response and store the result in MCryptoEngineOutputLog, then use it in PGP
view filter).

 No, I really want to have my icons -- in fact, I already do have them
(except that there are no icons yet). Clicking on an icon should show the
details, such as trust level, key used, whatever. And also all PGP messages
(which is the only thing it already does).

 If I don't get any other contributions 'm going to try to "colorize" this
one in different ways -- thanks!

 I think I'm finally just going to call them "viewer plugins". What do you
think?

 Thanks,
