Hi,

I have a suggestion concerning the integration of GPG/PGP in claws-mail.

For a seamless integration of encrypted mails it's important for me to
have some kind of office function for encrypted mails:

receiving encrypted mails: decrypt and store as plain text, 
but marked with the encryption flag indicating "was encrypted/reply
should be encrypted"

sending encrypted mails: encrypt and store copy-to-self as plain text,
but marked with the encryption flag indicating "was sent encrypted"

It's much like in the old paper work days, when you removed the paper
envelope from a letter and put it into the file folder and the carbon
copy that was created on the typewriter.

I managed to get this office function approximately by coding some bash
scripts, but that's not a seamless integration itself into claws-mail.

So a proper integration of this office function into the GPG plugin
would be better. I think this would be an improvement for better user
acceptance of encryption. claws-mail would be the 1st MUA to offer such
a sophisticated PGP office function. AFAIK no other MUA offers a
similar one.

My scripts are just a workaround and provide only a basic office function.
It could offer much more sophisticated functions e.g. attaching the original
GPG-Mail or information about the public key it was encrypted/signed with.


Kind regards

Orinoco
