 Thanks!

 If you're speaking about the combobox to the left of the signing icon,
it's the usual identity combobox, not anything PGP-specific. I decided to
not have any control for the user name on the screen finally as the name
can be set at the identity level and it's unlikely that you're going to
need to sign with a key from a different identity than the one you use.

 There would be just the button and it would be ugly. I guess we could move
it to the subject row...

 Notice that there are also the menu commands for the corresponding
actions, so it's not impossible to use them even if "From" is hidden. Just
less obvious. I guess I should at the very least make "Show From" on by
default.

 I still do but I didn't have time to do it...

 True. OTOH I do often want to see the attached files at a glance, without
having to switch to another page. And I definitely want to get rid of the
wrapping buttons, does anybody use them anyhow?
