Steps to reproduce:

PGP is hidden away and a tiny percentage even of TB users use it. I think this needs to change, and an easy fix would be to add an "add PGP key" button to the main window.

Actual results:

Pgp key generation is hidden in the settings and nobody uses it

Expected results:

A button that is black/white by default. When clicking it, the "create pgp key" dialog from the settings opens and people can create their key. After that the button disappears OR gets green and when clicking it people can quickly view their key status(es).

This is a low efford solution but an important step to improve the adaption of PGP, along with automatically attaching it to every mail and the FR I opened earlier about automatically importing attached keys.

I would like to add this to "Security"
