Quoting "Jens-U. Mozdzen" <jmozd...@nde.ag>:

Unfortunately, not all recipients do actually have an encryption key, thus I have none in my address book for them. When sending e-mails to such recipients, I'm presented with an error message that no S/MIME key is available and sending fails.

I'm well aware that having no possibility to encrypt can (and usually should) be an error and stop sending the e-mail, when configured to "always encrypt". But from my work-flow point of view, I'd prefer a pop-up (no cert, so no encryption - send anyway?), because I have well more than one e-mail destination without cert. Or a configuration option to downgrade that current error message to warning level, reducing the "always encrypt" default to a synopsis of "always encrypt, if you have a way to do so".

As I oppose local program changes, I wanted to query the list and the developers to see if such a change would be considered for inclusion into mainline code at all.

I would say no. Modal popups are not appropriate for something like this, since it remains too easy to accidentally send without encrypting.

Quite frankly. it really makes little sense to have a "Always Encrypt" option anyway.
