GPG not by default

Hello,
I'm trying to implement GPGTools at my work place when we need to send sensitive data like usernames and passwords. The default workflow for GPGTools for mac mail is when you send to a message to a person in your key chain the plugin checks to encrypt the message. is there anyway to only encrypt when the user physically selects it?

basically I want to default all messages to no encryption, and only encrypt when the user physically selects it.

I know it's in everyone's best interest and if I had it my way all our email would be encrypted, but I know these guys won't tolerate not being able to search their inbox an even clicking the decrypt button would be too much for them.

Thanks

   Hi Brian,

   it depends a little on what version of OS X you are.
   For 10.7 we've completely written GPGMail from scratch and so it also behaves very differently than the version for 10.6

   But it should hold true for both that you can indeed always choose to encrypt or not encrypt.

   Could you give us a little more information on what version of OS X you're using in your company?

   We actually use both most of your devs are on 10.6 and our account people are on 10.7. I am on 10.6.

   sounds like i might need to check it out on 10.7

   Hi Brian,

   for GPGMail 1 (10.6) you can set no encryption as a default.

   for GPGMail 2 (10.7/10.8) this is currently a known bug and will be fixed soon.

   Best, steve
