That is a valid point, which I must admit I haven't thought about
before.

I have mailing lists sorted to their own folders, and the default To:
for those folders set. Is there a way to disable signing by default for
these folders only, so that mails that are not sent to mailing lists
are still signed? I can't find anything in folder properties.

The workaround is to do as I've done with this mail and uncheck
signing manually, and I'm not realistically going to remember to do
that every time.

A possible feature request?
