i received an e-mail from a friend, indicated by (from) and he sent this
same e-mail to 3 others.  So the to: field has my name plus 3 others
total 4 recipients.
indicated by (to1, to2, to3, to4).  only to3 and to4 where explicitly
mentioned in the log below:

I'm getting the error: decryption failed: secret key not available

Why is it stating that i need a secret key?  Who's secret key is not
available?
