Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If I reply to an encrypted email, I usually intend to encrypt my reply as well. Currently, I have to toggle the checkbox manually each time I reply.
Describe the solution you'd like
Automatically toggle the S/MIME encryption toggle when I reply to an encrypted email.
This might also require to import the sender's certificate (if not already present). Otherwise, the encrypting the reply is not possible. See also https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/11592 on that topic.

Research direction
Begin with the reply flow and the S/MIME encryption toggle described in this issue; review issue #11592 for the certificate-import context. Done means replying to an encrypted message automatically enables encryption when possible, with the unavailable-certificate case understood and covered.
