Oh... now I am scared... :S
I hope TB developers don't break too many things...
Now, going back to the topic, I don't want to play the Devil's
Advocate role, but since I among the users that are still trying to
learn the uses and meaning of encryption (and signatures, of course), I
think _maybe_ Eitan Adler is just trying to explain his idea, since
probably he still think it would be an interesting feature, and if
people is rejecting it, maybe it is because they have misunderstood what
he is suggesting.
I don't know how much knowledge does Eitan Adler have about enigmail's
code, or TB code... For "profane" people (I mean, people like me), to
add a feature is just part of the "magic" developers do, so we don't
know if there is a big difference between the recipient's rules to
sign/encrypt messages, and to add a feature about "sender's rules".
Now, my own point of view about the subject is: if a sender uses to
sign all his messages, and I receive an unsigned message, or a message
with broken signature, and the content of the message is important
enough to ruin somebody's career, I would check the message with the
sender, just to be sure. An alert icon would be a nice aid to make me to
remind that policy, *if* such feature is not too complex to implement.
If it would requite a lot of hard work, or to break some things to
implement it, then clearly it would be better to put a "post-it" in my
computer's screen saying: "don't forget important messages must be
checked before proceeding to do what they say".
Best Regards
