Using the Enigmail Rules Editor: Edit OpenPGP Rule

In the Rules Editor, you can specify defaults per recipient for enabling encryption, signing and PGP/MIME, and to define what OpenPGP key(s) to use. In this dialog, you can specify the rules for a single recipient, and for a group of recipients with very similar attributes.

These signing settings are applied for all rules that match. If one of the rules disables signing, the message will not be signed, regardless of other rules that specify Always.

The rules are processed in the order displayed in the list in the OpenPGP Rules Editor. Whenever a rule matches a recipient and contains a OpenPGP Key ID, in addition to using the specified Key ID, the recipient is not considered anymore when processing further rules.
