#3983: Change smime_self_encrypt default to yes (same for pgp_self_encrypt) --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: michele | Owner: mutt-dev Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.9.2 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+----------------------
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. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3983#comment:13> Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> The Mutt mail user agent
