Hi,
I have used enigmail for a while now, and would like my siblings to use
this feature for all our email. A prerequisite is that it is
transparent for them.
I tried to configure enigmail to encrypt by default for all addresses
that it has a valid public key for. If not, then it would send in clear
text by default. In each case, the user would not be prompted for
anything (other than the initial passphase for the private key when
decrypting).
I configured Key Selection to use: By email addresses. However,
whenever I sent the email to an address that has public key it did not
encrypt by default.
I configured Key Selection to use: By pre-set rules. I set-up a rule
for two email addresses that have public keys. This encrypted the email
by default, but if I entered an address that did not have a key nor had
any rule set-up for it, then enigmail returned a prompt asking what to do.
I would like Enigmail to :
1) encytpt by default emails that it has a public key for.
2) if there is no public key then by default it won't encrypt the email.
3) all emails ought to be signed by default.
At no point ought the user be prompted for anything.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Simon.
