You can already creat keys from within Enigmail.  It simply passes the=20
command through to GPG.

It won't. Period.  Its not in the design roadmap.  Enigmail is simply a=20
tool to enable you to use GPG to encrypt and sign mozilla Mail=20
messages.

It does import already.  Click on the pen icon and a key is called from=20
the predefined keyserver.  But it is not within the design parameters=20
to be another GUI to GPG, so no export facilities are provided.
