I like this

the one concern I'm still mulling over though is this: if we want to make ENIGMAIL self-teching then for every status there needs to be an easy way to get a list of possible responses   . a pull down list I would think .

After some more thought, I came up with three icons for privacy,
authenticity, and integrity.



Privacy: a lock.  If the message was encrypted, the lock icon is in
color; if it wasn't, the icon is grayed-out; if it was encrypted to an
expired certificate, the lock icon is in color but has a red X over it.

Authenticity: a fountain pen.  If there's a valid signature the pen is
in full color.  If there's no signature the icon is grayed-out.  If
there's a bad signature, the pen icon is in color but has a red X over it.

Identity: an icon of a passport.  (Not an ID card -- there's too many
different kinds of them throughout the world -- but passports look much
the same worldwide.)  If the identity is confirmed, in color; if it's
not, grayed.



These icons are all simple, so they could probably get shrunk down a lot
and still be recognizable.  SVG icons would give us the best range of
display values.

If we decide to go this route (the PAI route), I think we should agree
on an icon set and talk to a professional graphic designer about
creating icons for us.  Most icons in FOSS software are honestly pretty
bad; I'd like for us to stand out from the pack.  And yes, I'm willing
to contribute to paying for the work.  :)
