Hmmm: the trouble with that is that it used YOURKEYID to encrypt BOTH the
saved message and the outgoing one .... this means that the recipient will
not be able to read the message, but I can read my saved copy.

I don't think that it makes any difference to note that I am signing & encrypting
the messages.
