FlowCrypt's secure forward icon button become less obvious in UI

[martgil]

Description: The FlowCrypt's "secure forward" button is present for a single thread email that is new and doesnt have any reply.

However, the "secure forward" feature is missing in case there already an exchange of message and the "secure forward" feature is missing in UI unless it is accessed by clicking "secure compose" icon on the right-side of the secure email -> default behavior is "secure reply" upon clicking it which then be switchable to "secure forward" by clicking the option to change it on the upper-left corner of the secure compose.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In Gmail with FlowCrypt extension is installed, access a PGP email thread.
2. Find a secure reply icon button in any of the FlowCrypt recognizable email and click it.
3. Once the secure compose box is opened, notice that its it FlowCrypt reply behavior which is correct.
4. Notice that at this point, its not so obvious that "secure forward" and needs to switch from secure reply to secure forward.

Expected Behaviour:

The "secure forward" Icon button is present on older version of FlowCrypt, similar to "secure reply" icon button present in right-hand side of every secure emails.

Hmm, I don't remember secure forward button on the email message toolbar. Checked screenshots at Chrome web store and they show only secure reply button there too.
I think it's fine to have only a secure reply button, as secure forward is used much less often.

there is also secure forward button on this bottom toolbar:

Yes, we have that working but only when:

(1) a secure email is detected

But not when:

(1) the last email of an email thread is a non-encrypted email - will show gmail's regular reply and forwards.

there is also secure forward button on this bottom toolbar

I can agree on this. But for some email that are in the middle of the email conversation that needs to be securely fowarded with FlowCrypt extension, having to click on secure reply and going to secure foward option maybe too much of an interaction in a users perspective over having them the ability to secure forward right away in a single click. What do you think?

Having another button in message toolbar probably will be too much, but it would be great if we were able to add secure forward and secure reply actions to the message actions menu which opens after clicking 3-dot button:

I like this idea, its clean and a good placement for "secure forward" and "secure reply". I think its already possible as I checked the DOM structure of the menu and its accessible and seemed to be inject-able too. The box's accessible id is .b7.J-M - just noting it here so I won't miss it.
