default for gnus-message-replyencrypt is wrong

[Greg Troxel]

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.
