Comment on Encryption with Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG)parent

Comments

I learned this the hard way when using gpg+mutt back in 2001. All my Sent mail was being encrypted only with the recipient's key, so I couldn't read it myself. There's an option to also encrypt outgoing email with your own GPG key.

In case anyone is wondering how to make this the default behavior:

"encrypt-to YOUR_KEY_ID"

in your gpg.conf
