Re: [Evolution] encrypt if possible

The problem is, you need to send so many mails in the clear, you end up
with a default of not encrypting any.
I do think this option would be useful. I agree that selecting such
middle-ground in the menu when composing a mail makes little sense (it
may fit with other autocrypt-related changes, though) but IMHO makes
perfect sense for an account default.

IMHO you should send it in the clear. This is opportunistic encryption.
Half-encrypting the mail seems more confusing than "Sorry, it couldn't be
sent encrypted while also sending it to John"

I think that should be a setting for the Contact (like "wants HTML"), that 
(independently to this proposed setting) could trigger an alert if sending in plain
to a contact marked as "always send encrypted" (not sure if it should also change
automatically a plaintext default if sending to contacts with that tag and
for which we have a key).
