He isn't. Furthermore, you can't encrypt to him, because you don't have a public key from him. Without compatible software and key pairs generated on both sides and exchange of the public keys this simply cannot work. To be complete: In principle you can omit the key exchange and use OpenPGPs symmetrical encryption, but this isn't supported by Enigmail and still needs OpenPGP compatible software on both sides.
