The strange thing is that when I *first* imported the key, I noticed
that all I could do was sign it.  So I thought OK I'll sign it, but I
won't lie to the software and say that I had checked it thoroughly.
Perhaps that's why it wouldn't let me encrypt to the key even after I
had signed it.

Weird thing though, even after I reimported the key, signed it with a
lie saying I had checked thoroughly, I STILL was unable to encrypt to
it.  But that's when I saw the old familiar "Set Owner Trust" option so
I just used that to trust it ultimately and then I could encrypt just fine.

Just to ensure that I'm not getting the details wrong, I'm going to
delete the key and go through the process again and report back.
