[Enigmail] Configuring default Key Selection

I tried these instructions last night.

Results;

All emails are sent encrypted by default including to addresses that
there is not a key for.

e.g I sent an email to a fictional address for which there is no key:
fred at hdakhdasj.comb.  The email was encrypted, but I don't know why!

| Let me put it in my words:
|
| You would like to have a OpenPGP -> Preferences -> Key Selection
setting to
| "encrypt emails automatically if Enigmail has a public key for each
recipient".
| If there is no public key for any of the recipients, then Enigmail
shall send
| an unencrypted email. At no point ought the user be prompted for anything.
| The setting whether to sign or not to sign by default can remain as it
is now.
|
| I have good news for you: just switch to "No manual key selection",
and switch
| on "Sign unencrypted messages by default", "Sign encrypted messages by
default"
| and "Encrypt messages by default" in the account's OpenPGP settings.
|
| Olav
