Hi folks, merry christmas!
Yesterday I stumbled over a small understanding problem. I wanted to send an encrypted mail to a friend. Of course I got his public key. But when I want to create the mail, I got stuck. Problem: I have activated, that all encrypted mails shall also be encrypted by my own key, but the system says, I have no own key. Ok, I could create one, but in fact, I already have a key (this mail is signed with it), Here is my problem: When there is already a gpg-key crerated, why do I need another key for self encrypted mails? And do I need really 2 keys ( = 2 key pairs)? IMHO kmail could use the already existent key from me, but kmail does it only accept as a "signing key". That looks strange and is not logically in my mind. Maybe someone can tell me, what I am thinking wrong. Thanks in andvance and have a happy xmas! Best Hans
