Saving copies of sent mail when using GPG

Saving copies of sent mail when using GPG

[Neil Roberts]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for saving a copy of a
message encrypted with GPG. Currently I am using notmuch-fcc-dirs to get
it to save it to a sentmail folder. However if the email is encrypted
then it just saves the encrypted version, which is a bit pointless
because obviously I wouldn't have the private key needed to decrypt it.
I guess ideally it would save a copy that was separately encrypted using
my own public key. Does everyone else have this problem too?

Regards,
- Neil

check "encrypt-to" on your gpg.conf

Ah yes, that is a good idea. I decided to use these options in my .emacs
instead though so that I don't have to affect any other programs using
gpg:

 (setq mml2015-encrypt-to-self t)
 (setq mml2015-sign-with-sender t)

I think it would be neater if somehow it only encrypted for your key
in the local copy and not the copy it sends out on the internet though.
Having fewer keys able to decrypt the message that gets out on the wire
means there are less keys to worry about compromising.
