Steps to reproduce:

Currently mail.smime.remind_encryption_possible is at false despite bug 1791130 having landed.

Setup:

  • Have identity with PGP private key and S/MIME certificate.
  • Set preference of identity to "Select automatically based on available keys or certificates".
  • Prepare message to recipient for which an S/MIME certificate is available but no PGP key.

Actual results:

UI should switch to S/MIME.

Expected results:

UI does not switch to S/MIME but remains at PGP.

Note: If mail.smime.remind_encryption_possible is set to true, it works better since when possible encryption is detected and accepted, the UI switches to S/MIME. We think that when the recipient is entered, the UI should already switch to S/MIME.
