Also, should we always encrypt/sign the entire message (including the attachments if any) or only the text parts of it? I.e., more precisely, are there any drawbacks in always encrypting everything? I'd prefer to do this as otherwis we'd need even more GUI controls to specify what is to be done.

Oops, I should have read this first, before writing the above. But my question still stands: is this really needed?

We probably also need an option to remember the passphrase for the rest of the session, right?
