Title:
  better indication of signed and/or encrypted email

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Currently in Evolution, when a received email is signed and/or
  encrypted but it is longer than the available space on the screen,
  there is no indication at all on the screen that the email is signed
  and/or encrypted. The green bar which indicates this gets pushed down
  off the screen and the only way to tell that the email is signed
  and/or encrypted is to scroll all the way down.

  This is suboptimal.

  I propose that Evolution indicates that an email is signed and/or
  encrypted in such a way that it is always visible on the screen, no
  matter how long the email or the position of the scroll bar, using one
  or more of the following methods:

  * Fix the position of the green bar so that it doesn't scroll with the message but is always visible underneath the scrolled area.
  * Fix the position of the email headers area and add an icon there to indicate signed and/or encrypted
  * Add an icon to the message list, or a decoration to the icon already displayed there, indicating that a message is signed and/or encrypted (or possibly only encrypted, since the message structure is needed to determine whether it is signed)
