An option that let you select a Public Key from File or from Keyservers ( or pointing at the key: "0x########" ) to encrypt this message if you chose the e-mail notifications about finished torrents.

Is my wish possible? I did not see any request about this but i'm sure people would use it lovely.
It could be a perfect feature for me:

I'm using the web-remote control function also while qbittorrent checks a folder (loads the torrent file automatically) what is reachable through FTPS and therefore a notification would be always useful.

Without this option:

People should avoid using E-mail notifications!
I am not willing to use this notification option either but i would like to.
I think a plain text message that !contains every info! about the torrent {what,where to & when} is a HUGE "Security Risk" for the person itself. Privacy is dying these days.
Kind of "sharing at your wall (on facebook/on twitter etc.) : your download completed: (file_name,file_path,time)."

@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2016):

For this to be possible we would need to implement gpg signing ourselves which is a HUGE PITA.
Users on linux/bsd/mac may be ok but not on Windows. Windows doesn't have gpg installed by default.

Maybe you could workaround this: Use the "Run external program on torrent completion" functionality. Then create a script that will take the necessary info from qbt, formulate the message, call gpg to sign the message and finally email it. Of course that would mean you would want to find a command line email client. I am sure there are plenty out there.
