Description
Expected behavior
write new email to "sender"
when pgp provider like openkeychains is active, k-9 should ask openkeyschain to lookup "sender" and check if there is a key stored online.
if yes -> download key and use it
if no -> just send email normally
Actual behavior
write new email to "sender"
emails is just signed (k-9 does not check if a key for "sender" can be found online)
Steps to reproduce
see above
Environment
K-9 Mail version: 5.114 (f-droid)
Android version: 6.x
Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): IMAP

Research direction
No file or test paths are named. Start by tracing the new-email send flow and its PGP provider integration, then check how OpenKeychain is invoked for recipients. Done means an active provider looks up the recipient, downloads and uses an available key, and otherwise sends the email normally.
