hi im very slow to understand what im doing wrong. Is there any easy way to explain pgp as got no idea. thanks
Good idea,
I can change the dialog accordingly.

However, my problem is that although dkg wrote:

"whenever possible, even if i'm not sure of the proper identity or
other details", the word that seems to have the most consensus
behind it is "opportunistic".
I have no clue what opportunistic means.

I am not familiar with this word (and I am a technical guy).
But we should use terminology that's easy to understand.

And Wikipedia's explanation at least sounds not like being
appropriate here:
Opportunism is the conscious policy and practice of taking selfish
advantage of circumstances – with little regard for principles, or
with what the consequences are for others.
What's wrong with "convenient"?

It appears to em that terms like 'thorough', 'careful' are
scarcely even applicable to what you're trying to accomplish
here.  Mode 1 is basically 'Encrypt whenever possible' or
'Encrypt always'.  Mode 2 is harder to define -- the best I
can come up with is, 'Encrypt manually ONLY'.

How about adding the following radio buttons:

(*) Opportunistic encryption ( ) Manual selection of encryption
options
|--------------------------------------------------------------| |
To send encrypted                                            | |
(*) keys signed by me or other people I trust               | |
| |  etc.                                                        |
|                                                              | |
( ) if rules changed encryption                             |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

The stuff in the box is only active if "Manual selection of
encryption options is chosen". If "Opportunistic encryption" is
selected, then everything in the box is inactive, but displays the
settings that result from choosing opport. enc.
