In old Netscape 4.x I set in preferences option "send all mails encrypted". When sending mails to recipients with no public key, Netscape responds with a dialog box giving me the opportunity to simply cancel sending the mail or just send it without encryption. In Mozilla I still can check the "send all mails encrypted" option but the dialog now is only an alert saying I couldn't send the mail encrypted. So I have to click OK, then uncheck the encryption option in the mail menu for this mail and send the mail again. Minimum three clicks... Mostly I get confused with the radio button like menu items for encryption and the checkbox like menu item for signing, so I click the "encrypt" item once again and get some clicks more :-( It would by very handy to rebuild the old functionality.
