Encryption is on by default. In both cases you should verify.

  Neat! Thank you for the correction.

  It's also worth noting that verification is much easier these days given that cross-signing has been implemented. Before you had to verify each pair of (sender, recipient) devices. This meant N*M verifications. Now you only need to verify a new device when you are setting it up and each new recipient when you start talking to them for the first time. So it's N+M verifications.
