I think you would have to write a custom config module to do that (I
don't think it would be very hard though - not for the subject anyway)

Oh great. Thats really going to iritate some folks.  My _personal_ view
is that if an email is sensitive for whatever reason it should be
encrypted.  Disclaimers are a pain.  I should stress this is a personal
view and not that of my employers (see disclaimer below!) - I do
practice what I preach with my personal email account though.
