Thanks Olav, Sebastian,

You two gave me a hint on the problem.

First, I did not realise that the debug log did not update itself in
live: I had to close the window and reopen it to get something meaningful.

Then, parsing the relevant log, it seems that there is a per-recipient
rule: an autocrypt:// one. This particular recipient must have enabled it.
I went exploring the per-recipient rules before, but it was (and still
is) empty. Thus i was clueless…

I am not familiar with Autocrypt at all, I've read that it only starts
encrypting after some sort of agreement/handshake between the 2 parties.
I do not know how to complete the process with Enigmail :)

One solution that would fit me well would be to know where these
autocrypt:// rules are stored, and delete them. The party I try to
communicate with is a pal of mine, and will be plenty satisfied by
receiving encrypted/signed mail, and I do not like HIS settings
impacting on mine.
But perhaps I don't grasp the benefit of this Autocrypt thing?

Thanks again,

Rémi
