This is something that I have just recently discovered since
installing the PGP plugin. It seems to be a feature of the plugin and
is something that I *hate*! As far as I am concerned this feature
totally defeats the purpose of encryption. It is simply too easy to
forget to delete the unencrypted copy when you are finished with it.

Consequently, I have gone back to using PGP tray for decrypting
messages so that I can be absolutely certain I have not left any
confidential unencrypted messages sitting where anyone can access
them.

I have always used PGP tray for all my signing, encrypting, decrypting
and only installed the plugin out of curiosity. Needless to say, I far
prefer the security of doing it the *normal* way.
