It's easy to see how to set it always to sign with GPG and/or SMIME and always to encrypt SMIME mail.Yeah, it seems that there is no such option for GPG in Edit->Preferences->Mail accounts-> <your account> -> Edit->Security tab There is such option for SMIME only. I wouldn't expect it anywhere else.Is there a solution, perhaps incorporating some third-party add-on or some scripting? Alternatively, should this issue be raised as a request-for-enhancement?There is one already probably, so you can try to find it or enter a new one.
Yes, there already is one, or maybe two. <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500673> <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384814> I use GPG a lot, but it is actually more complicated than just "always encrypt". What if no key is available, should it complain or just silently not encrypt? What if multiple keys match: should it fail, prompt user to select a key, or silently just pick one [the later seems bad]? I think such an option is more work than it first appears <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209038> <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329342> <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300789> <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436914> SMOP - (1, noun) Literally means "Small Matter Of Programming". Most often used ironically regarding a suggestion for a feature which seems easy to the suggester, but is obviously [to the programmer] a lot of work. :) Personally, using GPG a lot, I'd much rather have Seahorse <http://live.gnome.org/Seahorse> included in GNOME and integrated better with Evolution. I *love* Seahorse. Finally an app that makes managing crypto stuff not painful. <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508744> <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517576>
