Default PGP encryption in emacs message mode

Default PGP encryption in emacs message mode

Is there some way to PGP encrypt mails written using emacs message mode
by default if the required PGP public/private keys are available in the
keyring? I can write my own emacs lisp to achieve this. But, this
feature seems important enough to be a part of emacs message
mode. Hence, I ask.

Thanks,
Arun Isaac.

I am familiar with this emacs wiki page. But, I feel that default
encryption is a feature important enough to be built into emacs itself,
and shouldn't need you to write too much emacs lisp on your own.

This seems to get the job done, provided you have the other needed mml
options set (you can even do that through the customize UI)

    (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-message-encrypt)

When I use this, and if I don't have one of my recipients' public keys,
emacs prompts me to remove that recipient. But, I want it to prompt me
to send the mail without encryption. Is this possible with some mml
setting?

I agree completely.

Some code of the previous versions is integrated into message
behavior already, but currently I don’t have time to integrate the
rest (in particular, writing test suites).  It’s free software, so
go for it if you like :-)

I’m happy to help as far as I can.  (There is no separate Gnus
anymore, for which I had git access, and I don’t know anything about
the Emacs repository.  The previous Gnus test cases such as
gnustest-mml-sec.el don’t seem to exist in the Emacs git
repository.)
