I did receive your encrypted message. However, I have not imported your
public key so it did not decrypt. I believe signing and encrypting are
different. Signing shows it could only have come from someone with your
private key. Encrypting to me would require you have MY public key.
O.K. I found the icons which are only there in the compose email window.

I believe you send it as an attachment.
