Hi Andy,

I agree that the user could be given a choice. But the logic is that you
should select wether or not to sign prior to start sending it. Use Ctrl-Shift-S.
But why would you normally encrypt but not sign and as an exception not encrypt
(OK) but NOT sign (irrational to me if you don't sign encrypted messages).

The bug MAY be that the config should rather say

> [ ] Sign encrypted messages by default [ ] Also sign non-encrypted messages
> by default

But that's one for Patrick to answer.
