Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Mess]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

When upgrading from thunderbird 1.5 to thunderbird 2.0 some icons have changed:

The key for encryption was replaced by the padlock (which is much better than the key-icon used before) and
the pen for signatures was replaced by the envelope with that red seal => This
one doesn't remember me to a digial signature very much, rather to a plast with blood... :-(
The pen on thunderbird 1.5 was much better and even much nicer.

The icons are standard Thunderbird icons that are primarily
designed for S/MIME and used by Enigmail.

Furthermore the icons should have a tooltip describing what they mean
Padlock: "Decrypted Message: Click on it for Security-info".
Pen: "Signed Message: Click on it for Security-info".
