*I* think it is, too. ;-)

How about a dialog box: "do you want attachment encrypted, too? Y/N"
However, I cannot think of a situation in which you'd want to encrypt
the message but not the attachment.

Agree.

But maybe there's a workaround: If they don't have PGP, you won't have
their public key, so TB can't encrypt. Right?

Wouldn't do anything for me - I would never use automatic decryption
or store decrypted mails. You never know who seizes your computer...

The cache part about the password just svaed you ;-) However, I don't
know whether it's my machine, but decryption freezes everything for a
couple, ten seconds. So, I decrypt it, reply, then delete the
decrypted version.

Same thing. I don't keep decrypted versions of mails that I choose to
encrypt.

I do both (Alt-F2 or the arrow thing), depending on my mood, and find
them both convenient. I like it that the on-eclick will check only
this specific account.
RM> + Possibility to switch the "Send queued Mail" - button in the main-toolbar

I have all accounts on "Combined Delivery", so it does not matter
whether I click "check" or "send". Thus, Alt-F2 will also "send
all".
RM> Maybe the last two points can be done over a global "Switch to Get and
RM> Send All Mode" Checkbox inside the preferences?
I didn't quite get this. You do know about the
Account/Properties/Transport/Combined Delivery checkbox, right?
