In GPG.CONF:
default-key 0xCFAF704C
default-recipient-self
encrypt-to 0xCFAF704C
means that the default key for signature is defined; and the message or
file will be encrypted always to it too, for your personal use, otherwise you
couldn't read your own message.
If you got the public key of the other person, you need to tell GNUPG what
you want; two ways for that:
Add "-r person" on the command line
or
default-recipient person (in GPG.CONF)
