I apologize for being so dense but this feature does not appear to work
for me as I thought that it would work. Or more likely I do not
understand just how it works.

The line   extensions.enigmail.saveEncrypted   is set to  1  if I have
my email address settings set to sign and encrypt every draft or email
that is saved or sent even if the recipient does not have a key. Since
it asks for *my* passpharse when saving I assume that it uses my key.

This does however offer me the opportunity to create a per-recipient
rule before sending an encrypted email to a recipient that can not
decrypt it.

It is not exactly what I had expected. I was thinking of a system that
would only encrypt emails to recipients whose keys I have in my keyring.
Perhaps this way is a better way.

Once again. Thank you for your help.
