I agree.

Here's another approach: Consolidate to only two menus in message-mode:
"Headers" and "Message".

"Headers" is like "Field" today and the items from "Attachments" are
moved to two submenus of "Message": Attachments and Security.

The "Security" submenu can be simplified by not having a separate item
for each of the three different encryption/signing method.  Instead the
default method can be changed from a submenu with radio buttons.

Something like this:

Message
  Attachments
      Attach file
      Attach buffer
      Attach external
      Insert Part
      Insert Multipart
      Quote MML
      Validate MML
  Security
      Sign
      Encrypt
      Sign Part
      Encrypt Part
      Sign/Encrypt off
      Method
          [x] PGP/MIME
          [ ] PGP
          [ ] S/MIME
  Yank Original
  Fill Yanked Message
  Insert Signature
  .... etc.
