EnigMail team, if you want some help with UI design feel free to get
in touch. Making it easier for users is one of the main drivers for
my own Addon development. Currently I am using XUL for this, but I
am open to change once technologies become available. One problem
with enigmail is that I perceived it as complicated and bulky (and
there are extremely few people in my address book who are able to
use PGP) so it has stayed mostly disabled for a long time. If we can
minimized the interface for when it is _not_ used this would be a
win.<br>
<br>
- fully transparent html support would be great. (haven't tested it,
maybe it does it already)<br>
- as I am writing this I see that it generates its own toolbar in
Composer instead of extending the existing one, also the labels look
disjointed. My experience is that a lot of users usually initially
reject extra UI elements that do not have an obvious benefit to
them. As it stands, my current composer setup only has 50% space for
the actual composition part of the mail, the rest is taken up by
menus and additional toolbars:<br>

Vertical Elements on window:<br>
1 - Menu<br>
2 - Toolbar<br>
<font color="#ff0000">3 - Enigmail Toolbar<br>
</font>4 - Address Widget (I know it is bigger than usual due to
Stationery configuration) - this one should probably be collapsible
in some way, similar to compactheader.<br>
<font color="#ff0000">5 - target folder for "copy sent 2 current"; I
don't use the Sent folder anymore. The target box isn't exactly
necessary as I usually answer emails "In place" from folder / in
folder</font><br>
6 - HTML composer tools<br>
7 - WYSIWYG / html toggle (by Stationery). that one is essential.<br>
<br>
the items marked in red could be left out or somehow folded away to
gain vertical space; address widget needs to be less wasteful of
space by creating a collapsing option (while showing main recipient
& list of attachments)<br>
