Unlike such packages as magit, this package doesn't provide any
interactive command (thus there is no point to autoload anything), it
just extends the existing Emacs functionality when it is loaded.  It
does so simply by adding a couple of hooks, so if you would like to
avoid loading this package on Emacs start, you can add these hooks
yourself:

(add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-encrypt-if-possible)
(add-hook 'message-send-hook 'mml-secure-check-encryption-p)

If you add the above 2 lines to your emacs config (instead of the
"require" line), "jl-encrypt" package will not be loaded on Emacs
start.  It will be loaded when you'll begin to write a message.
