Recent correspondence with someone who does not have his public key on a
keyserver meant that my reply to him was signed but not encrypted. After a
couple of iterations, he brought to my attention the existence of the OpenPGP
header in the mails he sent and which included a url for collection of his key.

He also sent me a link providing background info on the OpenPGP header :

http://josefsson.org/openpgp-header/

Clearly Thunderbird's OpenPGP security settings in Account settings permits the
creation of an OpenPGP header under the 'Advanced'button.

Even though I have Thunderbird's View/headers set on 'all', the standard format
is that the header display is collapsed.  When I knew of the existence of this
header in the mail concerned, I still had to find it and the full set of headers
is often longer than the mail body content.

Apparently Mutt can highlight the OpenPGP header if there is one.

Is there any way of having enigmail/Thunderbird highlight an OpenPGP header in
an incoming mail ?  I suppose a useful way would be to add its content to the
'Details/enigmail security info'.
