This discussion is part of my trial to make things better
(but now I know why I also had it turned on ;-) ).
We can change that easily BUT
we MUST AVOID to FRUSTRATE first-time-users.

I was also thinking about a general non-expert option,
switching between safe and unsafe mode.
(The unsafe mode is very important to send more
 encrypted emails to help those who really need encryption).
