    KMail failing to encrypt message using 'Send Later' option

    I note several people here use KMail so this caught my eye:

    If you tried to send an encrypted message and selected the "Send Later" option, your message may be flagged as encrypted, by it is sent in clear text... Oops...

    I don't know if it has been patched yet. The linked post was very recent (today).

    I tested "Send Later" by sending myself an encrypted message. The encryption was intact when I got it back.

    I am running version: 4:17.04.2-0neon+16.04+xenial+build21
    My upgrade history show KMail was updated on 6/8/2017:
    kmail (4.04.1-0neon+16.04+build20, 4.04.2-0neon+16.04+xenial+build21) Upgraded at Thu Jun 8 13:48:13 2017

    It looks like Neon patched that bug 8 days ago.
