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. Select the entry Guard Security in the sidebar. 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.
