If you encrypted it to their OpenPGP key using your key, and if both
of you have Enigmail or a similar PGP capable email program
configured, they should just be able to open it.

If neither of you have a PGP capable program configured and that seems
like too much to require, there may be other light weight options more
suitable for your needs like miniLock.

Re: [Enigmail] How does my recipient open my encypted email?

Hi Kerry,

> How does my recipient open my encypted email?
maybe I missed some context but the straight answer is:

Using OpenPGP* you cannot encrypt a message without having received
the receipient's key upfront and using that key to *encrypt to* that
person(s key). It's the "secret key" part of your correspondent which
makes the conversation private.

If you forced Enigmail to encrypt your message without such key, then
typically only you will be able to decrypt it, the receipient can't.

So, again:

To ENCRYPT, you only** need the receipient's "public key".
To SIGN, you only need your "private key".

To DECRYPT, the receipient needs his/her "private key".
To VERIFY your signature, the receipient needs your "public key".

Olav

* I'm aware of symmetric mode, but this is not covered by any mail
client I know of.
** Typically, Enigmail makes sure to encrypt to your (public) key
also, so that you can read your sent messages (using your private key).

Will do so by the weekend.  It'll be a monster bug, I warn you.

The nice thing about leaving this open for so long: nobody's going to be
able to claim we didn't consult the community and leave it open for
discussion.  ;)

I think the deadline for the proposal is now definitely over. Rob, do
you mind creating a bug that describes the conclusions of this for a
developer to implement?

Thanks a lot
