Need to manually encrypt address on Zion Market?

As title says, I'm a little confused.

The Zion market address box warns to encrypt the message with PGP.

Surely this is auto encrypted, like the 'message vendor' box on the left?

Zion automatically encrypt your addresses for you, right?

NEVER let the market encrypt sensitive data (such as your address) for you. Always encrypt it yourself.

The market can always store the plaintext version of your message, and send an encrypted one to the vendor. That way you both think it was encrypted while the market still has the original and unencrypted message.

Also if the market gets taken over by law enforcement, they will store the plaintext versions of the messages that the users sent using the 'PGP encrypt' checkbox to harvest addresses. But they will still send the encrypted ones to the vendor to not make anyone suspicious.

What, no! Auto-encryption is a terrible idea.

Never. Ever. Use auto encrypt on a market for your sensitive data. Ever.
