Help needed

[Daniel H. Werner]

Colleagues,

I need some help.

I downloaded GPGTools on my Mac laptop (I have not done it on my Mac desktop yet as I want to be sure I know what I am doing!!!) and did the Install. 
I Imported my existing keys. 
And I have several question/problems:

1) When I open a new email message window, I see a green box in the upper right hand corner which is labeled “OpenPGP”. Is that right?
2) Should I be able to toggle GPG on and off;
3) I composed a short Test message to send to myself. In order to Encrypt it, I selected the text, went to Services and selected Encrypt. That gave me the encrypted code in a new window. It seemed to me that I then had to select that text, copy and then paste it into the new message.  There has to be a simpler way to perform these functions? What are they?
4) My existing keys were created (in 2009 in PGP) at 2048 length.  Should I change them to 4096?  If so, how?
5) Even if I do not Encrypt the outgoing message, I get a window asking for my Passphrase. In the older PGP version, I had the option to cache the Passphrase so I did not have to enter it every time. How do I simplify this function?

In advance, Thank You everyone for your help.

Daniel
