When I did this with PMMail/2, the recipient claimed he could not decode
the message.  I noticed I could from the sent mail folder.  It seemed that
it encrypted it for me, and not the recipient.  I posted a note to
comp.os.os2.mail-news, and learned this was a known bug.  Yes, it seemed
seamless, but the message was not encrypted for the recipient.  His PGP
wanted ot extract a key.

I should say that I have PGP 2.6.3.  I've not moved to 5.0 as of yet, but
I am not sure why that would make a large difference.

I've not heard back yet from my intended recipient, nor has Steve Lamb
sent me his key for a test.  My key is available at:

ftp://ftp.calweb.com/users/j/jmprice/pgp-key-john-m-price

if anyone is interested.

No, this was not an attachment.
