It should be do-able by the add-on, the only question though is
where/when to ask.

I was planning to add the *default* settings in the preferences (in the
attachment/upload/dl settings).

I could prompt for settings/password when the ticket is uploaded, but I
guess this would not be the desired action 99% of the time. You don't
want to be prompted at *every* file attached.

Any ideas on how would you like it to behave?

[dl-ticket-service] Thunderbird Add-on with password and expiry

[Peer Tavori]

My users just love DL for Thunderbird - wonderfully useful and implemented
in a very unobtrusive, smart way. Congrats!

Now we have some cases when an Email is automatically shared beyond its
trusted user base an I would like to password-protect the download.
Is there a possibility so set the password (and if, possible, the expiry)
from the Thunderbird add-on? 
If not, how much effort would it be to extend the Add-on? 
Could I do it myself? (Never created any TB Add-on, so I know only very
little about the idiosyncrasies involved, just that mozilla are doing their
very own thing)
Or are you planning to do that (i.e. give the Add-on the same capabilities
as the Web frontend)?
