.. _draft-box:
.. describe:: draft_box

You can use mbox, maildir, mh, babyl and mmdf in the protocol part of the URL.

encrypted for all recipients for who a key is available in the key
ring. If set to `trusted` it will be encrypted to all
recipients if a trusted key is available for all recipients (one
where the user id for the key is signed with a trusted signature).
.. note:: If the message will not be encrypted by default you can
still use the :ref:`toggleencrypt
<cmd.envelope.toggleencrypt>`, :ref:`encrypt
<cmd.envelope.encrypt>` and :ref:`unencrypt
<cmd.envelope.unencrypt>` commands to encrypt it.
.. deprecated:: 0.4
The values `True` and `False` are interpreted as `all` and

`False`, `yes`, `Yes`, `no`, `No`, will be removed before
