% Hello,

Well, you've come to a good place :-)


% 
% A copy of all my outgoing mail gets saved in =sent. 

Yep.


% When I send out mail

% saved copy from being

Sure, if you want to.  Take a look at $fcc_clear (6.4.43 in the 1.2.5
manual) for more.


% encrypted too?  It's almost pointless to save the
% encrypted version, since
% it is encrypted with someone else's public key and I
% can't decrypt and read
% my own sent mail.

Well, then, you should simply encrypt to your key as well :-)


% 
% The mutt-pgp HOW-TO mentions a config variable called
% pgp_encryptself.  But
% this variable doesn't seem to exist anymore in 1.2.5i,
% which is the version
% I'm using.

Yes, that changed a bit.  I use gpg; in the newer mutts I started out
specifying my key as an additional recipient on the *encrypt* lines in
the gpg.rc file (as in

  set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg -v ... -- -r B66D9EEA %r ..."

or so) but have since changed my method to specify this on the gpg
side (as in

  encrypt-to B66D9EEA

in $HOME/.gnupg/options) since I only ever sign with one key (mutt could
let me define *-hooks that changed the pgp_* command to change the key
specified with -r if it were necessary).  One of these two approaches
ought to work for you...
