[Evolution-users] Evolution automatically signs/encrypts messages to myself

Hi, this happens to me in a imapx (business gmail) account:

- I create a new email message, write a random recipient, save it as
draft and close it;
- Open the draft and see that the "PGP sign" and "PGP encrypt" icons
are *not* visible in the toolbar;
- Change the recipient address to my email address (the one appears in
the "from" field), save & close;
- Open the draft and see that "PGP sign" and "PGP encrypt" icons are
visible in the toolbar, and enabled.

If I disable the GPG sign and GPG encrypt and save & close again, the
next time I open the draft they are still enabled.

This happens only on this account; it doesn't happen with another
gmail account. The options in email preferences look the same for both
accounts.

It does not happen if I save the draft inside the gmail web user
interface. Furthermore: if I save the draft in evo, open the draft in
gmail web u.i., edit the draft, open it in evo it doesn't show the
icons.

I don't want to GPG sign and encrypt by default, and I dont want to
uncheck them every time I send a message to myself. Is there anything
I can do?

Thank you very much for your help
Andrea
