GPGMail, “Encrypt messages by default”, not working if “Send again” is used

Hi, thanks for making the GPG suite. It’s awesome! :)

Here is on bug I encountered in GPGMail version 2.5b5:
If you use “Send again” Mail or GPGMail won’t honour the “Encrypt messages by default” option.

Short story:
I have the “Encrypt messages by default” option on, so every time I create a mail to certain addresses the mail automatically gets encrypted. Recently I wanted to add something to a mail already sent. So I hit the “Send again” button, changed the text and sent the corrected mail again. The problem was: that second mail did not get encrypted.
Since I use the “Encrypt messages by default” option I did not check if the encrypt button was on. Also the first e-mail was encrypted, so I did not expect that the second edited message would not get encrypted.

I think this behaviour should be changed (bug should be fixed) since it will lead users to accidentally not encrypt messages.
