Hm. My needs for PGP are usually connected to my contacts. That is
there are people I regularly use PGP with an some that I cannot use it
at all (T-Online users). Most folks most of the time have open contact
with me.

Currently I've set up various QTs for different kinds of contacts,
mainly I distinguish between business and private contacts and English
and German ones. T-Online users got their own QTs with the %NOUSEPGP
macro.

When I today decided I want to have all my mail with one specific
contact encrypted I found that I'd have to create a new QT for that.
Not a big deal, but not optimal - this way QTs abound. Then I got the
idea how easy it would be to just check PGP-signing or PGP-encrypting
within an AB entry. This could always be overridden in the message
editor through the Privacy menu.

Most people may only need these options and the Privacy menu, but I
can still imagine some more flexibility with the macros for much more
experienced users.

Lets see what others think and what my own contemplation will bring
about in the next hours/days. I won't put it into the BT before
tomorrow, in case it transpires that my idea is not that good.
