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?
