Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.2-2
Priority: wishlist
There are some MUAs (like mutt) that do not encrypt mails you send with your
own key, which makes them unreadable to you once stored in a folder. Since
this issue can be prevented by the use of the 'encrypt-to' option in GnuPG it
would be nice if the default skeleton file for gnupg documented it a bit
more.
Attached is a patched changing the skeleton file to help those that
don't want too dig to hard to find a solution to the problem above.
Regards
Javier

1.4.3 has entered the archive and this fix is indeed included, so I'm closing
