  quite reasonable all.

  just a tiny thing:

  any reason not to _() the message?

  and, perhaps:

> +  snprintf (prompt, sizeof (prompt),

> +         (msg->security & INLINE) ? _("PGP/M(i)ME") : _("(i)nline"));

  will translators surely understand (from the po file) that the
  translation of PGP/M(i)ME and (i)nline has to keep the same key as
  shortcut?

  thanks again,


  P.S.: btw, bg.po was not updated on Apr 12 as all other po files.
