Hi Thomas,
On 11 August 2000 at 23:56:06 GMT +0800 (which was 16:56 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "S/MIME Import key bug?":

I don't think it does work any differently. Generally you need the
recipient's key to *encrypt* an outgoing message to *them*. You should
only be decrypting messages sent to you using *your* key. S/MIME and
PGP are the same in this respect AFAICS. At no point would you ever be
able to decrypt a message that is encrypted to someone else's public
key (unless they have been silly enough to give you their private key
and password/phrase).

No, my key was sent within the certificate when I signed earlier
messages. But that was the key I send out for people to encrypt
messages to me with. Same as PGP.
