I really don't understand why I can read a message if it's encrypted with their public key. I shouldn't be able to do that. When I use gpg -r ID -e <file>, I can't read that gpg-file after. So am I encrypting my emails in here with my own public key? All my contact's public keys are imported and added to my key-ring. I'm just puzzled that I'm actually able to read a text encrypted with someone else's key. fr. den 05. 02. 2016 klokka 09.30 (+0000) skreiv Pete Biggs:

Concerning the latter, I don't know if my emails are encrypted with the receivers public key, or mine. I have only imported my own public key, so how does Evolution know how to encrypt using the receivers public key? Or it doesn't?Have you read the Help on OpenPGP encryption in Evolution? Help -> Contents -> Mail encryption and CertificatesAlso, after I sent it, I could open it and read it using my own password. When I'm encrypting letters in my terminal with the receivers public key, I can never open it and read it using my own password, which is logical, I guess.Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Account -> Edit -> Security -> "Always encrypt to myself when sending encrypted messages" If you want to read encrypted messages you send, then you need to use your public key along with the recipient's when encrypting it.Also, I was not asked for my password before sending the encrypted email, which is a bit strange, right?No. You keyring had already been unlocked (as it's part of the login process for Gnome) so your password wasn't requested again.So what is going on?I ask myself that everyday.
