Well you are right, but I had only glanced down into the message body
and seen that the greeting said "Hello ssis," so I put my sister's
name in there. Only then did I glance up and see in the To field only
the one word "ssis." As I told before, I did a back-space, tabbed down,
the address went in,

And I typed and sent my message. Unencrypted. Unintentionally
unencrypted. Because I trusted my template, I did not pull down the
Privacy menu and double check.

It's too much to ask of my old brain, which is farther down toward
entropy than I would like, to remember to check the Privacy menu every
time I'm sending something encrypted, when it's such a usual thing
with a particular person that habits are embedded.

My work-around is not to use these handles any more for persons I
encrypt to.

And, to me, as an annoyance, it's on a par with the Draft function
which does not conserve the PGP settings, because in one folder
only--Outbox--folder settings over-ride Address Book settings. And the
Outbox serves double-duty as a draft folder box. As soon as I type one
thing into the message body of a saved-draft to edit it, "Encrypt when
completed" is lost.

And the one time I would forget to double-check the pull-down privacy
menu would probably be when I was in correspondence with my
accountant, or someone else about sensitive material.

Stefan Tanurkov knows this drawback. But he won't give Miguel and me a
separate Draft folder in which we can customize the settings.

You're correct.

You're correct. But both you and Paul are missing the issue that is
meaningful to me, here.
