Ah. I have overlooked that detail. I see it now in the paragraph you
wrote, but it was difficult for me to spot it. :-)

Maybe you should just change your way of handling things like this. As
Paul said, simply start over again with a new message where you're sure
you typed in the correct handle. Or add some subtle change in the
signature, greetings, or somewhere else in the template that uses
encryption, so that you have a visual confirmation that you're indeed
sending the message encrypted.

That would require to sorta "classify" the macros. I can't really say if
this is a convenient way to handle this issue, since the personal
preference of users may differ, and the last thing I need would be
another configuration dialogue to classify the macros (just thinking the
idea to the end).

Maybe the other members of the list should chime in here so that
eventually a reasonable wish can be formed out of this.
