My first response would be that I'd like to decide for myself when I sent encrypted \
email. But the big picture is that we seem to use encrypted email for very different \
purposes and needs.  I just want to encrypt it so the postmaster can't read it. You \
seem to want encryption based on real-flesh-persons you are talking to. Something I \
couldn't care less about.

Most of the people I email with don't use encrypted email because they don't care who \
reads their email.  But if you ask further they would like to 'lick the envolope' so \
the postman can't read it.

I hope you will appreciate that your intended usage of the technology is not the only \
one and that adding the wanted option to sent to unsigned keys is the only thing \
standing in the way for simple-moms to start using this for very different reasons \
you want it.
