Steps to reproduce:
Sending an email: In the past (using enigmail), it was possible to encrypt all your send emails or encrypt emails only to senders who support E2E encryption (having S/MIME or PGP key) or do not encrypt emails.
Actual results:
Now the option encrypt emails to senders who support E2E encryption is not available. If you mark encrypt emails, there is an error if a recipient does not support E2E encryption (by S/MIME or PGP), then you need mark the unencrypted version.
This is an unpractical behavior. In most cases, not all your contacts support any kind of E2E encryption. Getting this error message every time when sending a mail to an account without E2E encryption is not a practical option. Sending all emails unencrypted is also not an option.
Expected results:
The third option is missing since the enigmail integration when sending a email: "only encrypt emails to senders who support E2E encryption". This option was available before in enigmail and is missing now.
