Thanks for your fast answer. 
My friend was in my key list. For details my keylist contains 4 keys 
wich are generated by me with public and private part, 1 key of my 
friend only with public part and keys of other poeples only with public 
part too.

I have checked again and identified 2 cases of balsa behavior:

1) My normal case see above.
    Here only my keys occurs in the list for public keys of recipient.
    And the mail will be encrypted with my public key.
2) For test i have generated a key with the name and e-mail address of 
my friend. Now in balsa the list of public keys for recipient is ok. 
(contains both keys of my friend). But it is following a additional 
question for choosing a public key for recipient (my address).
The mail will be encrypted by the last question (my address).

I think balsa encrypted with from address but i does not believe it 
really. I was looking for a bug, but there is none in the archive.

Should i send screenshoots to this list or is this not so good idea?



Thanks Thomas
