{{{
I'd be inclined to agree with Kevin: The whole point of encryption is
to be exclusive about who can read it, and changing this changes the
model to one that's more permissive, which may result in bad
consequences for unsuspecting users.
OTOH, I'm somewhat in favor of anything that makes it easier for
people to adopt encrypted e-mail (though, TBH, I think that ship has
sailed), and I can't really think of any particularly good arguments
for why one might not want to be able to read one's own encrypted
correspondence.
I'm somewhat inclined to engage Werner on the subject. [Or, Werner,
if you're still paying attention to Mutt and issues relating to its
use of GPG, please feel free to pipe up!] If this can wait a while I
s'pose I'll do that.
