I understand - and I'm rethinking the wisdom of this tradeoff, since that might
be a danger I don't want.
I could certainly see getting in the habit of encrypting when possible and
(silently) not when not for things that mostly don't matter, but then something
comes along that does matter and maybe I don't remember that I don't have the
key for the new guy on the list yet. Out it goes in the clear with no warning.
And yes, the "annoyance" of an extra click or two is pretty minor, it's just
much-repeated. :)
Thanks!
