If it is an automagic part of the identity? It seems to run to about 40%
of the time for me so far. I'll note that the mml.el file has a single
menu item:

    ["Encrypt/Sign off"         mml-unsecure-message mh-gnus-pgp-support-flag]

for all of their various modes.

Since you have already added a separate key binding for
mh-mml-unsecure-message, I suggest that we have only one key
binding to sign. It defaults to one of the methods (this should
be customizable), and with a prefix it will prompt for the
signing method.

I think most users will be using only one of the methods most of
the time and very infrequently the others. So it is very likely
they won't remember the key binding for the infrequently used
methods if we have different keys for each function. Also, the
most common case would have a short key binding.

For the menu, I wonder if we can have nested menus.

There are four states:

      do not sign, do not encrypt
      only sign
      only encrypt
      sign and encrypt

I will grant you that the three methods probably could be set
with a defcustom. Part of the reason for problems with the menu
was getting the distinction between sign+encrypt and encrypt.

Thanks Peter, I figured you'd chip in.

Since all of the menu items start with PGP... I'd suggest naming the
menu PGP and then dropping PGP from each of the child menu item names.

Rest assured that this will all be fine-tuned when I hit that portion of
the manual ;-).

That should be "PGP Sign Message". Ditto for the others. You followed a
bad example ;-).

However, as discussed in a previous message, we'll have a PGP menu so
the menu item will be actual "Sign Message".

> +    ["PGP/MIME Sign message"

I saw MIME in parenthesis elsewhere, so I guess this would become "Sign
Message (MIME)".

Summary: Set Content-Type of .vcf files to text/x-vcard

Initial Comment:
We need to recognize that a .vcf file is of type

text/x-vcard. This is needed to generate the right

Content-Type when using "C-c C-m TAB" to insert a vcard.

     ["Name in menu" (toggle-function-to-call)
      :style toggle :active variable-that-says-if-we-have-this-feature-flag
      :selected (function-to-tell-to-currently-set-or-unset)]

So you need a function to toggle it (insert and remove the stuff), a
function to detect if the stuff is insertred, and optionally a function
or variable to return if the feature is available in the first place (if
not, the buttom is grayed out).
