I already have checks for encryption and for attachments. I find that I often ignore the prompts and simply say yes to everything which kind of makes it all pointless... But that's me. Anyway, as noted in another post in this thread, the beauty of Emacs is that everybody can have the system work the way they like. For me, spell-checking while writing is what I like and I'm very happy with flyspell. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50 & org 9.1.13 on Debian buster/sid
