D'oh. Chalk this up to user error. In every case I have investigated, the 
person complaining they could not read the email did in fact, at one time, have 
a key.

So I'll change my complaint! :)

Why does Mail "remember" that I clicked the encrypt button? Encryption is a 
very deliberate act. I never want that button clicked by default. With the new 
stripped-down preferences, I can no longer tell it to never click that box for 
me. That is my wish.

Sorry! and thanks!

M.
