Let me answer from a little different perspective. Anyone can generate some piece of text and encrypt it using your public key. There is nothing special about encrypting your mails vs encrypting arbitrary data. So if that were a problem, access to your mails would be entirely irrelevant to it. -- Best regards, Michał Górny _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
