251179 - MailNews should automatically encrypt if recipient's certificate is present

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135636

(MailNews Core :: Security, enhancement)

Description

[Andreas Buschka]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707

I would like to see the following feature:

If I compose a mail, and for every recipient, I also have a public certificate
in my store, MailNews should prompt me if I want to encrypt the mail. 

Why would this feature be useful? Because most of my communication partners
(about 95%) do not have email certificates, so having the "encrypt" option
always turned on is not very handy (an error message pops up everytime I have a
recipient in my list for who I do not have a public cert). 

Reproducible: Always
