Hi,
  
 Sorry, I meant to reply to this one...
  
 They have their rules set by corporate policy.

Subject: Re: [Enigmail] Option to add a string to subject of encrypted mail 
  
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.

 Pete,

It's been a couple of years since I played with Symantec PGP, but I do 
remember that the product will perform various tasks (encryption, signing, 
PGP-Partitioned vs PGP/MIME, send in the clear) based upon rules that the 
user can define.  One such default rule is the presence of the character 
string "[pgp]" in the email subject, or in the body of the email - but 
these are only defaults.

The user can define any string to perform almost any encryption/signing 
task.  He can change the user-friendly defaults.  He can even specify that 
emails of "high importance" should be encrypted and/or signed.  I used to 
use the subject field string "[pgp-m-e]" to encrypt using PGP/MIME and 
"[pgp-m-s]" to use PGP/MIME and sign - but these are just two of my 
personal examples.

Before you go to a lot of trouble to automate the inclusion of a particular 
string in the subject field, you should know precisely how your 
correspondent has configured his rules in his installation of Symantec PGP. 
 He may not be using the default string of "[pgp]".

I'm sorry  :-(    I know that I have not answered your question about how 
to automate the inclusion of the string you wish to use.  Like you, I'm not 
very experienced in JavaScript or Thunderbird plugins either.

The attached file called signature.asc
is my PGP/MIME signature for this email.    On 3/10/2016 3:05 AM,

  Hi,
  
 I use Enigmail to converse with colleagues that use Symantec PGP Desktop 
with Outlook.
  
 The outlook setup uses "[pgp]" in the subject to decide whether or not to 
encrypt an email.
  
 I would like Enigmail to automatically add "[pgp]" to a subject when 
sending so that the outlook users will automatically encrypt when replying 
to threads.
  
 Would it be possible to add an option to add a configurable string to the 
subject of encrypted mails?
  
 In the meantime, I tried hacking it in myself. I tried adding this to 
enigmailMsgComposeOverlay.js/encryptInline():
  
          if (!gMsgCompose.compFields..subject.match(/\[pgp\]/i)) {
            gMsgCompose.compFields.subject += " [pgp]";
            var subj = document.getElementById("msgSubject");
            subj.value = gMsgCompose.compFields.subject;
        }
  
 but it didn't work. I have to admit, I'm not very experienced in 
javascript or Thunderbird plugins.

  
  
 Regards,
 Pete
