However, I am not going to go so far as to allow a lesser encryption method automatically without first telling the user. So we are not going to do this same check at send time. IMHO, if you truly want to send encrypted messages by default to everyone, you damn well better be sure those messages are being sent encrypted or else I (the user) want to know about it.
