Details

Steps to reproduce:

using an e-mail account that is configured with PGP encryption, create a new message, deselect the "Encrypt" button, then save the new message as a draft or as a template

Actual results:

The draft or template is saved in an encrypted state. This has the disadvantage of breaking search functionality (search can not search within encrypted messages) and this also breaks the "Reply with Template" function of Message Filter Filter Rules as reported in Bug 2015226.

Expected results:

The draft or template should be saved in an unencrypted state, which would allow search functionality to be able to search the message, and would allow for proper functioning of the "Reply with Template" function of Message Filter Filter Rules.

set mail.identity.default.autoEncryptDrafts to false if you want this.

If the user has unselected "encrypt" for the message, then the message should not be encrypted. The only reason that the message should be encrypted even after the user as unselected "encrypt" is if you are actively trying to sabotage the Thunderbird project.

These are different things whether you want to end up sending encrypted and whether drafts will be encrypted until sent.
That's the setting from comment 1, in the account settings "Store draft messages in encrypted format". If it wasn't clear, without that the server admins would generally have access to much of what you are going to send...
