Feature Suggestion: Encrypt by default
Last modified: 2013-10-04 17:11:12 UTC
Feature Request: We are allowed to PGP sign by default, but we are not allowed to PGP encrypt by default. It would be nice if you were able to configure Evolution so that you could PGP/SMIME sign and/or encrypt by default. As it stands now, I have to manually select encrypt in order to encrypt my emails. This is a nice feature that Thunderbird allows and perhaps Evolution should consider adding it.
adding keywords
in order to destroy the UI component (as discussed with jpr, dobey, and nags), changing component and reassigning. adding usability keyword.

Hi, I have the same feature wish. Here are my thoughts about how to implement it (I worked on the evolution code in ubuntu intrepid which is version 2.26.1): - add another option to the settings dialog: "encrypt on default" (haven't found this spot yet!) - set the gtk toggle action automatically accordingly (as done with sign on default!) (haven't found this spot yet!) - ignore "no key for ... found" exceptions from "camel_cipher_encrypt" in composer/e-msg-composer.c line 835 if "encrypt on default" is set; if you cannot decide what kind of exception occurred, there are the following possibilities: - add the possibility to decide; - add an optional argument (flag) to "camel_cipher_encrypt" to indicate that it shall return the part unencrypted if a key is not found There are some unknowns in this steps but if you see a chance to include a patch that might work this way I'll take some time to try it out. Please give me some feedback what you think. Joachim
6 years are a long time ... *BUMP* C'mon guys, shouldn't be that hard.
