GPGMail: **Encrypted** messages being sent unencrypted

Composing message, encrypt button seems to highlight/gray out correctly based on key availability, but when I hit send (Exchange account in Mail.app on ElCap, all updated, brand new computer) it is sent in the clear. Confirmed viewing in Outlook on the Mac (which doesn’t have any supported PGP client) and viewing the sent item in Mail.App.

Expected
I expected to find encrypted message text when viewing the message in Outlook, and to see “Encrypted” in the message info when viewing the message in Mail.App

Additional info
Correctly gets signed (and indicates signed) if that was selected. I’ve tried both ways.

    Should have noted I am indeed getting the "invalid signature" errors that others are, when the message was signed. That's much less critical to me than a message being sent unencrypted without warning.

    Disabled additional plugins in Mail and encryption worked. Appears to be a disagreement between MailActOn and GPGMail. Possibly not a problem here but probably worth calling out this misbehavior when MailActOn is enabled as well. Can use SmallCubed utility Mail Plugin Manager to easily see what is installed, enabled, disabled.

    I also verified the same issue with Mail Act-On yesterday. (With help from GPGTools team) Uninstalled MAO and now GPGMail correctly encrypts.

    Furthermore, just installed MailHub from Dervish Software and found that it -does- work with GPGMail so far. Hopeful. What I struggle with is the way Mail.app marks email as read as soon as it appears in the preview panel. This can be prevented by either of those plugins. But I digress.

    Mail Act-On 4.0.3 released this week does -not- fix the conflict. Still cannot use MAO and GPGMail at the same time. Will test upcoming versions - no need to notify me.
