Taking on the advice of the earlier message I was replied to on, I encrypted a message to a friend of mine. From the message I sent I thought that I would use his key to encrypt it then he would decrypt it with his secret key. When I used the encrypt function from the pgp-menu, I assume it used my key to my friend, but I received this back from stdin [deklown@gateway /tmp]$ mutt gpg: using secondary key 2022484D instead of primary key B87477EB gpg: This key probably belongs to the owner gpg: reading from `/tmp/mutt-gateway-18249-20' gpg: writing to `-' gpg: ELG-E/CAST5 encrypted for: 2022484D Joshua Line <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> still confused some...This key probably...? reading from /tmp ? writing to what? is this /dev/null ? or is this writing to memory that is still there as I type this? -- /helfman "At any given moment, you may find the ticket to the circus that has always beenin your possession."
