Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

In evolution, the contact information includes a "wants to receive HTML email" preference. This is good.

It would also be good if there was also a "sign outgoing messages" preference for each and every contact, with 3 values: "use account default" (the default), "never", and "always". The "never" setting is especially important for Windows victims, because many can't figure out how to open the "attachment" which contains the email text.

It would be good if there was also an "encrypt outgoing messages" preference for each and every contact, with 3 values: "use account default" (the default), "never", and "always".

Just to confirm what Peter Miller wrote. I used Thunderbird/Enigmail and the encryption integration was a charm. I liked the individual encryption-settings for each contact.
As I only use GnuPG, the only thing I need is a checkbox, saying: "Use encryption if key is available" in the settings for evolution then I didn't have to activate it any time I want to sent an encrypted message. This would be even more user-friendly than the Thunderbird/Enigmail solution, because if I have a public key from someone, I normally want to use it - and if I don't want, then I have to disable encryption mail by mail OR delete the key with seahorse (for individual setting) OR uncheck the discribed checkbox (as a default value). Easy!
