Using the Guard

Guard Settings

3.5.2. Guard default settings

The default settings define the preset settings that are available when composing E-Mail messages. When composing a new E-Mail, the default settings can be adjusted before sending the E-Mail.

How to change the default settings:

  1. Click the System menu icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click the Settings menu item.

  2. Select the entry Guard Security in the side bar. Click on Guard PGP Settings.

  3. Change a setting below PGP Encryption Settings.

The following settings are available.

Default to send encrypted when composing e-mail

Defines whether a new E-Mail is encrypted with PGP by default.

Default adding signature to outgoing e-mail messages

Defines whether a new E-Mail is encrypted with PGP by default.

PGP default to using PGP inline for compatibility

Defines whether the PGP encryption is done inline. Only use those settings if the E-Mail client of a recipient does not support PGP, the message should be readable though. If you use this setting, you cannot send e-mail messages in HTML format.
