I was wrong, I was confused with the key files :(

Still I was thinking about the key file, and not the email.

At a first glance, it sounds more like a new feature, such as an offline mode,
which would allow the user to send the mails afterwards.

 Mail signature for Thialme (Test key for caff) <thia...@localhost> to
 'thia...@localhost'? [Y/n] Y

could become:

 Mail signature for Thialme (Test key for caff) <thia...@localhost> to
 'thia...@localhost'? [Y/n/o] Y

where *o* would stand for offline.

That is just an idea.

What do others think about that?
