Hi,

I have read opened Github issues about sending encrypted-only e-mails, I 
also have read 
https://k9mail.github.io/2017/01/30/OpenPGP-Considerations-Part-II.html, 
and I perfectly understand the developer's reasoning when they decided to 
not allow sending encrypted-only e-mails.

But on the other side, it is very annoying for users to enter passphrase, 
which is in practice leading to that, that users:
- do not encrypt e-mails at all;
- use short (weak) passphrases;
- set passphrase to empty.

In each case the result is quite opposite of what developers wanted - now 
we have even less secure users. OK, there is another option - users on 
mobile phones are just moving towards Signal app use (which is not bad at 
all).

So my question is - is it possible to design ux in such a way, that 
unlocking key won't be annoying (or be at least less annoying), while 
e-mails sent will be encrypted and signed? I have read there has been 
thinking about unlock pattern, maybe there is some other option, but 
entering long passphrases is really not an option.

Regards,

M.
