That is on purpose. With a signed mail you have at least a way to tell who sent the mail. An unsigned but encrypted mail can be send by anyone and you netter don't use HTML links there.

Added a note to the German GpgOL classic chapter (section "Mails anzeigen", right after the decryption screenshot). It explains that GpgOL always shows encrypted but unsigned S/MIME mails as plain text, even if they were written in HTML or Rich Text format, and why: anyone with the recipient's certificate can encrypt a mail, but only a signature identifies the sender.

@ebo @timegrid @werner please review. The English version will follow once the German text is approved.

Finde ich gut! Evtl. ein "z. B." einfügen: "damit sich z.B. hinter einem Linktext keine andere Adresse verbergen kann."

Done. Time to close the ticket?
