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.
