Pete, I should add this additional note. Since you really need to find out how your correspondent has configured his rules in his installation of Symantec PGP, why not ask him to add a rule that says, IF the recipient is "[email protected]", THEN encrypt and sign using PGP/MIME when replying?
There is, of course, not way to force a recipient to use encryption. He must choose to use it, so the best you can do is suggest that he does.
