Actually, I'd like Enigmail to either show clearly that a key is revoked (as one would see when querying the keyserver), or not show revoked keys at all. When someone is looking for the public key associated with an email address or name, chances are pretty good that they are actually looking for the key that has not been revoked. There is no way in the current interface to see which is the key you need to select. Additionally, what's the point of all the key signing, if that can not be taken into account. Maybe Enigmail could also show in an additional column how many signatures a particular key has? If both things were clearly visible, someone searching for me could easily see that one key was revoked and not signed by anyone, while the other was valid and signed by numerous people. Picking the right key would be easy. I've received a few emails from people that picked the wrong revoked key. Why make selecting the right key so difficult for the average user and not leverage the information we have to help them in making the right choice?
