Agreed.  The pull down from the icon to me would indicate options relating 
to the message that is being composed.  Therefore the Security menu 
point should have a checkbox "Encrypt".  If any of the recipients do not 
have a valid certificate, then the padlock is opened, as listed in the 
details.

I wonder though: if a user wants to sign and encrypt, they would have to 
visit the menu twice to enable both.  In this instance, it might be better 
to have 3 radio buttons within the menu:-

* Encrypt Only
* Digitally Sign Only
* Digitally Sign & Encrypt

This way, they only need to visit the menu once.

I don't think Security and Priority should be split from the single icon 
menu pulldown.  I like it the way it is in option 2.
