You have to register your class in with the component registrar, like
it's done in enigmail.js in Enigmail.prototype.initialize(). 1st thing
in that method does is to register nsEnigMsgCompose for secure message
sending.

The methods are automatically invoked if
gMsgCompose.compFields.securityInfo is defined and specifies that the
message should be encrypted. See enigmailMsgComposeOverlay.js, function
enigEncryptMsg().
