GPG and S/MIME in Apple Mail

I use both OpenPGP and S/MIME in my Apple Mail, but by default all new Messages are sent using OpenPGP. It’s easy to change this behaviour in the Terminal:

Set S/MIME as default security method

defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgmail DefaultSecurityMethod -int 2

Use OpenPGP as the default again:

defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgmail DefaultSecurityMethod -int 1

Got this from https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/gpgmail-faq/gpgmail-2-hidden-settings#define-the-default-security-method-to-be-used
