Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Using S/MIME encryption for encryption some highly secure communication:
when an encrypted message is received, the default reply does not use S/MIME encryption to encrypt ougoing email.
which is very insecure - when a user replies to an encrypted th email-client
must enable encryption feature. If it is left to user to decide whether to encrypt the outgoing message, he may simply forget to do it, and this will result in
the communication meant to be encrypted - to go plain.
Enabling "default encryption of all outgoing messages" is extremely inconvenient, as it is only 5% of all communication that has to be encrypted, while remaining 95% has to be plain.
Thank you!
