Comment (by kevin8t8):
Okay, my rambling on in the last comment has helped me think things
through, and I think there is a solution.
PGP:
* Create {{{$pgp_default_key}}}
- this will be used for encryption (for {{{$postpone_encrypt}}} and
{{{$pgp_self_encrypt}}}).
- this will be used for signing unless {{{$pgp_sign_as}}} is set.
- {{{$pgp_self_encrypt_as}}} will become an alias for this. I'll
mention in the docs, but note it is deprecated.
* {{{$pgp_sign_as}}} continues to be available. Those with separate
signing keys should continue to use it, but others can just put their key
into {{{$pgp_default_key}}}. The pgp "sign (a)s" menu will set
{{{$pgp_sign_as}}} (as it does now).
* Change the default of {{{$pgp_self_encrypt}}} to set.
S/MIME:
* {{{$smime_default_key}}}
- will be used for encryption for {{{$postpone_encrypt}}} and
{{{$smime_self_encrypt}}}.
- will be used for decryption unless
{{{$smime_decrypt_use_default_key}}} is unset.
- will be used for signing unless {{{$smime_sign_as}}} is set
- {{{$smime_self_encrypt_as}}} will become an alias for this, which I'll
also mention in the docs but note it is deprecated.
* Create {{{$smime_sign_as}}}
- this is available for those with separate encryption and signing keys.
- Change the s/mime "sign (a)s" menu to set this instead.
* Change the default of {{{$smime_self_encrypt}}} to set.
How does this sound?
