It would be a nice feature if you could have an option "always send
encrypted" with every address book entry.
An alternative would be a general setting "always send encrypted if
possible", which means the mail program has to look if a
certificate has been stored, and then send encrypted if a
certificate has been found.
What about just having a general "Notes" section in there? Then one
could add any information of any sort in there. The MacOS contact
list has a Notes area and it is very useful.
Thank you, but that is not the point.
For legal reasons, certain email traffic must be encrypted, from end
point to end point. For instance emails between me and my doctor.
Assuming we have both set up digital signing, any email traffic
between us should *always* be encrypted, automatically. I should not
have to choose Security > Encrypt This Message to get encryption.
You want this feature setup on a per-recipient basis just like
"prefers to receive mail as " <html/plaintext/any>.
Yes, that would be an option.
However, I also have an alternative option.
When you want to send each other encrypted emails, you have to exchange
the certificates first. So I have to send the recipient a signed email
message, and he has to send me a signed email message as well. As soon
as I receive his signed email message, its certificate will be stored on
my computer. My certificate will have been stored on his computer.
From that moment on we can send each other encrypted email messages.
Now suppose I want to send this recipient an email message. Then mail
could look in the stored certificates for his certificate. When found,
mail could automatically send the message encrypted.
That is an even cleaner way of setting it up. No need to add an entry to
the address book, everything is done automatically.
The whole idea of encrypted messaging intregees me!!
Let's say you, Dirk, and I want to talk encrypted. I might give you a
Plain language call saying lets go encrypted. You send me your key and I
send you mine, and we're off and communicating.
However, if someone else is "watching", be it on my computer, on your
computer or somewhere in between, they also have both keys, so can "see"
what we're saying.
Or am I mis-understanding the situation?? (That's a definite possibility!!)
