Description
I propose to add new icon (padlock?) to attachment column if message is encrypted (in case of S/MIME: Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime. I do not know Content-Type in case of PGP). Not experienced users can be confused seeing blank message. New icon may have title which informs that whole message is encrypted.

I did not know that there already is message informing that e-mail is encrypted, in this case there is no point in adding additional icon. My encrypted e-mail was sent from Thunderbird and inform message does not appear in RC. Is this message displayed in case of Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime ?

Could you attach sample message source?

- Component changed from User Interface to MIME parsing
- Milestone changed from later to 0.9-stable
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
Fixed in commit ee89c6dff6a309bd6d024a725eb24d79b4ac1236 so for such messages the notice is also displayed.

Sometimes multipart/encrypted content-type is used, but sometimes encypted text is sent inside of text/plain. We cannot show icon in the second case. Won't it look inconsistent?
We have already a message informing the user that message is encrypted and cannot be viewed. So, -1 for me.
