[Enigmail] Color Coding

If it's not signed at all, the bar will never get green.

It's possible to get green, if it's not signed by you. Due to the web of
trust it's possible that the calculated trust value will be enough for
full trust. I don't know the exact tresholds but I can draw how it works:

Person A trusts and signs the keys of B, C and D. Person B, C and D
trust and sign the key of E. If enough of those connections exist, the
trust level of E for A will reach a point where a 'full trust' value is
calculated.

For example my Enigmail shows me full trust for Patrick Brunschwig
although we never met and I didn't sign his key. Look at
http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/paths/CC8710D0/to/E443D6D8.html -- this shows you
the trust paths from me to Patrick, two direct connections each with
only one intermediate person I met personally and signed the key.
