I downloaded GPGwin v3.1.3 beta 20 today. The automatic key fetching fails in my case because we have no WKS. Never heard of that before.

Register an event handler for each folder in which a decrypted item is read. "Mailitem->parent" In this event handler listen to the beforeitemmove event. In that event then close the mail / discard the decrypted contents.

Here is what we have now. We decided explictly not to offer a "yes I want to do something less secure" button as we think that using Unsigned S/MIME Mails is avoidable. Also we want to be more secure by default then Outlook. From a User Experience standpoint a "Yes more convenient but less secure" button basically educates users to always select that button.

aheinecke added a comment to T3986: GpgOL: Mitigate manipulations of encrypted S/MIME mails.

Yes. For S/MIME we don't have the comfort to change the standards. I also would like to have a quick solution. After much deliberation with Bernhard we think that it is a good compromise from usability vs. security that we further reduce the usability for S/MIME in that we only allow (any) signed content to be displayed as a file or HTML. This is not extending the standard, not changing GPGSM but a design decision in GpgOL.
We don't have full control over our Mail client so we can't prevent the load of external references like KMail does. This suggestion is a compromise and a pragmatic solution.
