The 'as' textbox can be removed at all -- ability to set it RC> in preferences should be enough. I'd have gone with the toolbar suggestion if I thought this box were not important but it is, at least for me personally. I use several identities (wxWidgets one, my personal one, my professional one, ...) and I really, really don't want to have to abandon composing the message which I already started if I hadn't thought to do it from a folder with the correct option. In fact, this user name should really be part of the identity probably... But until then I need to have it accessible in some way. Consider also that we'd need to have "encrypt" checkbox (and any additional options for the encryption -- are there any?) somewhere too. So while I do agree that this one takes too much space, it wouldn't be that bad later. OTOH I just had another idea: what about putting the checkbox, or a toggle button -- if anybody can find a decent icon for "sign" action -- near the "From" field? This would be a logical place for it. But of course this wouldn't work if the "From" field is not shown at all :-( So I still don't see what would be the best UI solution here. BTW, I also think that the current "message body" and "attachment" pages are pretty bad and the "Wrap" buttons take too much space as well. I'd probably like to have the message body window on its own (i.e. not inside any notebook) and combine attachments and PGP controls in some kind of window below it. What do you think? I'd appreciate any opinions/ideas about this, TIA! VZ
