Steps to reproduce:
When I click "reply" to a message I cannot easily see if my reply will be encrypted and/or signed.
Actual results:
The icons for encryption are tiny, and located at the bottom left of the new mail window. This makes it hard to be sure that messages I sent will be encrypted / signed. It requires a lot of effort to look at that tiny corner and distinguish all the icons (they are all black and very close to each other). It might happen that it goes unnoticed when messages are sent unencrypted.
Expected results:
There should be more visible feedback on how my message will be sent. Either through:
- bigger icons and/or
- colored icons and/or
- icons not located on the bottom right of the window and/or
- a colored stripe on top of the message (what enigmail did basically) indicating the encryption status.
