Well it certainly can be made an option... But can you tell me what possible reason you'd have for encrypting mail to someone to whom you're not sending it? This makes no sense to me at all.

The only time I'm ever prompted is when a) the person I'm sending to has an e-mail address on their key that is similar to another e-mail address I have in my keyring, or b) when I have not signed the key of the person in question. I have multiple UIDs on my key, and have other keys with multiple UIDs, and I'm not prompted when I send to those keys. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
