A reasonable guiding principle, but sometimes *availability* trumps security.
This is sufficiently often the case with email to make explicit preference for
delivery above all other concerns a necessary feature.

When a user gets a delay warning for their initial attempt to send a 
time-sensitive
message, it should be possible to resend the message with an explicit opt-out of
enhanced security protections (beyond unauthenticated opportunistic STARTTLS).
