Either or, perfectly would be to select a specific key, but sufficent is 
"sign msg by default" "encrypt by default"...

As for OpenPGP: I have some strange feelings that it is very confusing for 
users to even have 2 possibilities to sign mails. Every other implentation 
I've seen only had 1...
But don't know how to hide this 'cause if this feature is possible it 
should stay possible to use, perhaps sb. will need it...

great - can't await to test it!
One pair is already enough (at least for me :-)
