Description
In the past the current behavior has caused some issues, especially when switching accounts in the message composition screen.
When making this change we have to be careful to still consider the "Bcc all messages to" addresses of the current account/identity when checking whether the message can be encrypted automatically.

Research direction
Start by tracing the message composition UI and the account or identity settings that provide the “Bcc all messages to” address. Check how automatic encryption eligibility uses those addresses, especially when switching accounts. Done means the address is not displayed in the UI while it remains included in the encryption decision for the current account or identity.
