Hello:

I asked this question last week, but haven't seen a reply come by, so
I'll ask again:

Using the openssl command-line tool, is it possible to encrypt a message
with an RSA public key?

The scenario I'm imagining is ultra lightweight PGP by hand:

1) My friend and I each generate RSA keypairs
2) We exchange public keys (over insecure channels)
3) To send a secret message
        a) encrypt message with some symmetric cipher
        b) encrypt session key with RSA key
        c) send encrypted message and encrypted session key


We all know this is what PGP does.  Is it possible to do step 3b by hand
with openssl?

Thanks.
