|
| To encrypt to yourself, (B)CC'ing the mail to yourself is of course
| possible and forces Enigmail to put your key on the list of recipients.
|
| However, the desired result can be achieved more easily:
|
| 1. Method:
|
| Click on OpenPGP->Preferences. Enable "Display Expert Settings". On the
| tab "Sending" check "Add my own key to the recipients list".
|
|
| 2. Method:
|
| Edit your gpg.conf file. Uncomment or enter the following line:
|
| default-recipient-self

Yup, there's those.  My bad, I forgot to mention that capability.  I was
mainly focused on the point that the draft needed to be encrypted to him
as well as the recipient.
