When you say "there were two more" - were the files listed as
attachments by Evolution or did they just appear when you did "Save
All".

I presume, from the way you describe it, that it's not the email itself
that's encrypted, but that there's an encrypted file attached to the
email.  If that's the case, then you can look at the source of the
email (Ctrl-U or View -> Message Source) and you will see in the mime
structure all the attachments.

If the whole email is encrypted and if the signature is correct, then
they *MUST* have been attached before the email was signed, encrypted
and sent.
