I mentioned this in the bug report about orange contact chips, but it may have been overlooked.
Since the last update, the E2E is turned on in the account settings, but I NEVER TURNED IT ON MYSELF. Wouldn't have done so because I never use it - don't even know where or how to get a certificate.
Must have been turned on "by default". Ideally it should be "off" by default. And of course since it's on, there are the options under the "to" field in the compose window to turn off digital signing and encryption for each email.
Maybe it would be better for most just to use the options available in the compose window to turn "on" digital signing or encryption for a new message (if desired) while leave these turned off globally. I know I reply to a lot of commercial senders (magazines, notices from health provider, casual aquaintances), none of whom would have certificates to be able to read my replies - if I forget to turn off those options.
But basically if these options were turned on for accounts by default in the recent update, some users may not be aware of that - until it's too late.
