GPGMail: not encrypting outbound

MacOS Sierra with the downloaded/installed beta you send around a link by email the other day.

When I create an outbound mail, GPGMail correctly detects that I have a key for a recipient. Button turns blue for encryption. I type a message. I send message. It is not encrypted when sent.

GPGMail is able to decrypt incoming messages properly.

I’m on MacOS Sierra. Right before upgrading to Sierra I was sending from this computer and encryption seems to have been working.

Expected
I expected outbound messages to be encrypted.

Additional info
I have told MacOS to encrypt by default (if a key is present) and to not sign by default. Used command-line per your instructions.

   I've worked with this some more and verified it fails on both of my MacOS Sierra systems. The workaround of using the "service" does work, but it's like going back to 1995. Hope there's some insight into the bug soon.

   Hi,

   do you have any other plugins installed? We've learnt that Act-On might lead to this behavior.

   I uninstalled Mail Act-On on the two Sierra computers and they both send encrypted messages properly. Do you want me to inform the Act-on people or are you in touch with them already?
