There has been no response to my comments of Nov 5:
>In the account settings, there is a tri-state encryption preference, the three
>states being to never encrypt, to encrypt if possible, and to encrypt always.
>This is confusingly presented as a checkbox and two radio buttons. It should
>instead use three radio buttons, just like the tri-state SMTP SSL preference.
>
>The checkbox for "Digitally sign messages" should be in the same outline box
>as the certificate selector. The two are strongly related--it makes no sense
>to enable signing of messages without having a cert. The selected certs are
>only used when signing has been enabled.
>
>I suggest two outline boxes, one for encryption, the other for signing. The
>"Recipient Certificates" preferences should go into the Encryption outline
>box.
>
>The tooltip for reading a signed message should include any e-mail address in
>the signing cert. When the signer of a message has a commonly used name, such
>as "John Smith," it isn't very helpful to just present the common name.
