An observation from me about an 'average user'?

The more information that you add to the screens the less of it the
'average user' will read. The famous "Click next - next - ok" effect.

The more complicated that you make GnuPG and Enigmail for the 'average
user' to actually use - do this - read this - make a decision - read
some more   IMHO the less it will be used by that 'average user'. Or
perhaps even worse to be used incorrectly.

Enigmail has a 'Setup Wizard' (exact name?) and one simple check box
fills a whole page of settings. Most of which I would think a new
'average user' would have no idea what they are / do or why. Or cares.

Make it as complicated as you want but I would highly suggest, if you
want that 'average user', that you also offer a simple path.

my 2 cents
