Should be able to force GnuPG encryption to certain email addresses or domains

[Celso Pinto]

Binary package hint: evolution

The gnupg integration in evolution already allows me to configure some encryption settings like always signing or encrypting outgoing email. What I'd like to see implemented is an option to always sign/encrypt outgoing email to specific email addresses or domains, similar to the functionality present in enigmail.

I'd like to add the reasoning behind this feature request: using Google Apps (inc. gmail) is becoming a standard with startups, including my own. The problem with GMail is that there's always a feeling of lost privacy even though Google asserts that the data is indeed private.

We exchange a lot of private information via email and more often than not we forget to encrypt our emails. Yes, there's the option of having our own mail servers but email services are a commodity and there are few advantages in doing it ourselves, namely avoiding having to manage the infrastructure, backups, punching holes in firewalls, etc. etc. etc.

Thanks for your report, that's known upstream you can track it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204029

I hope Canonical can nudge the upstream on this, since it has been outstanding since 2001.... Seems like a simple UI feature, rather than actual functionality too...

I hope we don't get to the point where such a simple, and frankly obvious request can take 10 years to be adopted.
