Guard Settings

3.5.2. Guard default settings

The default settings define the preset settings that are available when composing E-Mails. 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. In the sidebar, click on Guard PGP Settings.

  3. Change a setting below PGP Encryption Settings.

The following settings are available.

Default to send encrypted when composing email

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

Default adding signature to outgoing mails

Defines whether a new E-Mail is encrypted with PGP per 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 can not send E-Mails in html format.
