Now I know this might not be a very user friendly idea and probably not
ideal for the long run.  It might be a good first step to simply have a
hook like this:

 crypto_hook sender, recipient, reply_to_signed?, reply_to_encrypted? ->
 dosign, doencrypt

(Apply your mad Ruby skills to make it Ruby-esque, but you get the idea.)

That'd buy you some time to come to a conclusion, while still making sup
a lot more useful for early adopters (like me :-).
