You should start an email thread about each one separately.  There is
no need to put your own name in the subject line.

You might endeavor to test that nothing is broken one update at a
time.  It's not clear what you mean by "move", but the same goes with
that, whatever that is (moved the hard drive?).  The GPG plugin
authors seem not to be around these days, so the best thing to do
might be to reinstall the plugin from scratch.  I think there might be
slightly newer code for that plugin in the authors' CVS repository.

Post details about the problem in another thread.

It'd probably have to be added by you or someone else.  I might
consider it as a new feature for the Spam Buttons plugin.

This depends entirely on where your passwords are stored and is best
addressed in another thread as well.
