That would be really great.

But how about not only replying encrypted but encrypting every
email if possible?  "Possible" could mean different things,
though:

1) encrypt if fully trusted suitable public keys for all
   recipients are GnuPG key ring.

2) encrypt if suitable public keys for all recipients are in
   GnuPGs key ring.

3) try to fetch suitable public keys from server in order to to
   check 2).


I for instance fiddled with my mutt configuration to achieve 1).

But I have no clue about how to do this with notmuch/Emacs.

Ciao, Gregor
