Subject: automatically encrypt replies?

Hey pine-ers,

In general, it's good practice to encrypt replies to encrypted messages
you receive.  With pine, however, the only way that I know of to do that
is to remember that the message you're replying to is encrypted, and
then manually cycle your sending-filter to the appropriate one just
before sending.

Is there a better option, to ensure that I don't accidentally send out
an unencrypted reply (potentially containing sensitive quoted stuff) to
an email that was originally encrypted?  My instinct says "no", since
pine doesn't really know anything about encryption -- it just knows when
to invoke display filters and sending filters.

One option might be to have procmail add some headers to encrypted
messages, and then have pine notice those headers when replying and
automatically apply a sending filter.  I don't know of a way to convince
pine to do this, though.

Anything I've overlooked?  Have other people run against this problem at
all?  If so, how have you solved it (besides just training yourself to
be smarter ;)?

Thanks!
