I want to ensure that all replies to encrypted to be encrypted. I would
rather have the reply fail outright than fall back to unencrypted.
Here's a behavior that I think would be reasonable:
* notmuch reply outputs JSON encrypted flag
* emacs does a quick check to see if the needed key is available
* if key not available: give a nice mini-buffer prompt, something like:
'encryption key for "Foo Bar <foo at bar.com>" not found. Retrieve?'
* if response is yes: call gpg to retrieve the key
* if key available: add encrypt flag
else: I feel like this should abort, but maybe there's something to
be done here. Allow reply but don't quote the original?
jamie.
