Comment (by kevin8t8):

 As I said in comment:1, {{{pgp_sign_as}}} and {{{smime_default_key}}}
 (there is no {{{pgp_default_key}}}) specify '''signing''' keys.  Those
 variables are also set when the user chooses "sign (a)s" in the PGP and
 S/MIME menu.

 Those two variables are unsuitable for holding a self-encrypt key, because
 they in fact could be set to a key without encryption capabilities.

 Yes, this does happen: I sometimes have to explain on IRC why someone
 can't send an encrypted email to someone, because the key does not have
 encryption capability set.
