I take it as that you advice to include preference=sign,encrypt
Out of curiosity, is there any difference between
preference=sign,encrypt and preference=encrypt,sign ? I mean, does the
order matter? Can you both sign encrypted message and encrypt signed
message? (Where the later means that you can not verify signature until
you decrypt the message)
