Subject: default for gnus-message-replyencrypt is wrong
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:14:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <smuod36fjhg.fsf@linuxpal.mit.edu> (raw)
I have long been wishing that replies to decrypted messages were
automatically marked for encryption. I complained about this to someone
in private mail, and got pointed at gnus-message-replyencrypt. That's
great, but it has the wrong default :-)
I feel it's rude to disclose content that someone else encrypted even
indirectly, and it's completely unacceptable to quote encrypted mail in
the clear. Thus, I think this variable should be enabled by default.
Arguably, quoting message text from a decrypted message should be
disabled if the reply is not encrypted, but it's so easy to work around
this that such a feature would merely be invasive/annoying.
(My papers are not in order, but 't' is not a creative expression. :-)
If this would be accepted, I can provide doc change and changelog.
