What speaks against making this a default action, when a person enabled
a privacy system? I can imagine that many people have wishes for default
actions and that's why it's great that you offer such a feature. But
when a person did enable a privacy system, it shows that encryption is
important to this person. In that case it would make sense to make this
action a default one.
For software it's important to offer a good usability and this way you
would make it a lot easier to start with encrypted emails because people
don't have to concern themselves with the actions feature. And such an
action would increase the chance that people discover the feature of
retrieving keys. Most people don't read whole manuals before they use a
product ;-)
