In PMMail/2, the first key is used. You can not choose a key at this
time.

In PMMail/2, the message is encrypted to both the recipient and
yourself. This enables you to open and read the copy in your sent
folder. If you do not have a valid private/public keypair for
yourself, you will get this message:

"No encryption keys found for: pmmailos2@blueprintsoftwareworks.com"

(with your email address not mine, of course) and you will be unable
to send the email in encrypted form.
