I actually mean the notifier that a message is signed. Years ago I requested that this notifier should be placed underneath the header section, in order to avoid the shifting of regularly used buttons like delete and so on. After a lengthy discussion, the decision was made (also because it was "discovered" that Thunderbird places its own notices also beneath the header section). With the last update, the old and annoying habit is back: the notifier of enigmail pushes the regularly used buttons down.
Maybe I'm the only one having trouble with this. But I browse through my mails and delete quite a few which don't require a reply, and then suddenly a signed message gets in the way which I also want to delete. Insted, the menu of enigmail's notifier is opened, so I have to close it and move to the delete button, then for the next message I to move back. Small things, I know, but if you have 100+ messages each day, of which roughly 80% require no reply and also do not need to be moved anywhere but just can be deleted, it's becoming annoying if there are signed messages in between.
So please! Could you put the notifier back underneath the header section? Thank you for your consideration!

The notifier was moved above the headers section again to avoid a security issue. If the notifier is below the header section, it's very easy to create a HTML message that looks exactly like a signed or encrypted message (from a specific person), even though it's a simple unencrypted and unsigned message. I doubt that even I would be able to notice the difference.
It's therefore on purpose that the header bar is moved up again. In the short term I see no other fix than that.

A HTML mail is nothing else than a web page sent in an email. If you look at modern web sites, it's not difficult to imagine a page with a top-level bar in light green and a button. That is, you create a top-level paragraph, div or table with a green backgroud and black foreground and you add to the right side of the page a screenshot of the "Details" button.
You probably can't use the Thunderbird message composer to create such a page, but in general, if you know a little bit of HTML and CSS, then this is not difficult to achieve. But I won't teach you HTML and CSS here.

Can you please explain in detail how creates HTML message if the notifier is below the header section.
