Hi,

I would like to request a feature that I believe was there before Sierra release. AFAIK GPGMail used to remember the last choice of encryption/signature mechanism. Right now it always defaults to PGP.

Best,

R.

Expected
I expected that GPGMail used the last crypto mechanism instead of defaulting to PGP

   Hey Radoslaw,

   welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   There was no feature to remember the last setting. But there is a hidden setting to adjust the default. This KB-article explains how to activate this setting.

   Can you try that and let us know if it works as expected?

   All the best,
   steve

   Hi Radoslaw,

   I'm curious about your setup. Do you have an S/MIME key and PGP key for the same address?

   Hi Luke and Steve

   @Luke - yes, I have both PGP and S/MIME on the same address. I use S/MIME by default as it's handled well by email clients of people who do not use PGP. I use PGP for people who do use PGP (and for example share their key/ keyID in emails).

   @Steve - thanks for the KB article - that has solved my problem.
