Really?  I asked this very question with respect to PGP auto-encryption
a few months ago.

AFAIK, Evolution still will not auto-encrypt with a PGP key.  It will
auto-sign and I have this switched on so that I'm reminded (by being
asked for a private key passphrase) to encrypt when I want encryption.

If this facility is coming in an as-yet unreleased version of Evo that
is great news!
