No! This should be the senders key, otherwise nothing would work correctly.
It's used for signing emails and when encrypting the message is
additionally encrypted with the senders public key, so it stays readable
for the sender. It only can be encrypted to a receiver if the receivers key
is on the keyring (Watch out, those email-addresses have to match!). 

So as far I can tell everything seems to work correctly there.
