I would avoid 'thorough', 'careful', 'accurate' : these three in English will imply that they are an alternative to 'careless' or 'shoddy'. Any and all encryption is expected to be thorough and careful and accurate, and 'safe'. Any exceptions that might be anticipated would be put down to human error or (in the case of 'safe') to the greater expertise of an adversary and not to a deliberate choice on the part of the sender. > Just as a explanation: - Convenient encryption would select: - accept ALL > keys (trust-model always) - auto send encrypted if I have accepted keys - > Confirm before sending: never - Thorough encryption would select: - accept > only valid keys (WoT model) - never automatically send encrypted (except > rules) - Confirm: always > I fear that it will be difficult to find a choice of 2 short labels for your 'convenient' and 'thorough' buttons which will be clear and not misleading. Perhaps the 'convenient' could be labelled 'handy but with risks' and 'thorough' could be labelled 'thoughtful'. In any case, I fear that a complementary explanation will be required in the form of a 'help' button to explain to beginners the subtleties of the decision making process required to chose between the two options. > Any feedback is welcome. > > AND: If you want to try out the new features (except the new buttons > convenient/thorough/help) here is a xpi file: > https://www.enigmail.net/download/beta/enigmail-1.7a1pre-test2.xpi (thanks > to Patrick for providing that). > > Either load the xpi file directly into Thunderbird or save it with Firefox > and then open it via extras -> Add-ons ... and in the tab select the top > right "cogwheel" button and choose the option to install add-on from a > file > > Best Nico > I'll try your xpi file this evening - when I have a little more time.
