Sending Messages using PGP
When sending messages with PGP support enabled, there are several options
for how to send the message.
No Encryption
Send the message with no PGP encryption or signatures (cleartext).
Encrypt Message
This option will encrypt the current message, using PGP and the recipients
personal public key, and then send it. You can only send a message to a
single person using this option. You MUST have the public key of the
recipient stored in your address book or else this option will fail. If you
have the public key for the recipient in your address book and are still
receiving errors, verify that the e-mail address in the recipient field
matches the e-mail address where the public key is stored. The encrypted
data will be attached to the outgoing message.
PGP Sign Message
This option will digitally sign the current message using PGP and your
personal private key. If you have not already entered the passphrase for
your private key during this session you will be prompted for it. The
recipient must have a copy of your public key to digitally verify your
signature.
PGP Sign/Encrypt Message
This option will first digitally sign your message and then will encrypt
the resulting output. See the 'Encrypt Message' and 'PGP Sign Message'
entries above for further information.
